Fed Loan Servicing is the sole servicer for the PSLF Program. Once a valid Employment
Certification Form (ECF) is received, verified, and approved, we will work with the
borrower's current servicer(s) to transer all of their federally-held loans to Fed Loan
Servicing. Information regarding the Program can be found on our website
www.MyFedLoan.org(Manage Account,Loan Forgivenessand Discharge Programs,
Public Service Loan Forgiveness).
The following resources are available on www.MyFedLoan.org/PSLF:
Review the next tab for guidance on handling phone calls where the borrower inquires
about PSLF.
If you receive an incoming phone call from a borrower who wishes to know more, in
general, about PSLF (and the borrower is NOT requesting specific details concerning
PSLF as it relates to their account), please refer to the following basic information
regarding the program:
• The PSLF Program was established to encourage individuals to enter and continue
in full-time public service employment by forgiving the remaining balance of their
William D. Ford Direct Loan Program loans (Direct Loans) after the borrower has
made 120 separate, qualifying monthly payments (beginning any time after October
1, 2007) while employed full-time by a qualifying public service organization.
• Only Direct Loans can qualify for PSLF.
• The borrower MUST make payments under one of the following repayment plans to
have payments count towards PSLF:
• Income-Driven Repayment plans (IBR, ICR and PAYE)
• Note: IL, CO, and CP payments are still considered IDR payments. Therefore, these
are considered qualifying payments for PSLF.
• Standard Repayment plan (based on a repayment period of 120 months or less).
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
• Any other Direct Loan Program repayment plan with payments that are at least
equal to the monthly payment amount that would have been required under the
Standard Repayment Plan based on a 10-year repayment period.
• The payments do not have to be consecutive.
• Payments must be submitted timely during qualified periods of employment to count
towards PSLF. Payments must be received as follows:
I. No earlier than 30 days prior to the due date.
II. No later than 15 days after the due date.
Ill. Full, regularly scheduled installment amount must be received even if the
borrower is paid ahead and billed less than their monthly installment.
• Generally, lump sum payments will NOT count as more than one qualifying
payment. (There are exceptions for AmeriCorps or Peace Corps volunteers.)
If you receive an incomingphone call froma borrowerwho is reques,,.tiw,na,,_,,s~o~ec~iilfic~----

• What is the status of my ECF?
• How many of my payments qualify?
• I received a letter telling me I have XX payments that qualify, but I want to know why
the rest of my payments don't count?
• Why was my ECF denied?
• Does my employer qualify?
• When will my loans be transferred?
• When will I be notified of how many payments qualify?
For more information on PSLF, refer to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)
article on Knowledge Base.
PSLF TRUTH: It is best for a borrower to submit an ECF early on in their career so we
can make sure they're on the right track, provide information on their repayment plan
options and keep them up-to-date on their progress towards forgiveness. NEVER

OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
MISCONCEPTION: Borrowers should consolidate all of their loans together to get the
most out of PSLF.
PSLF TRUTH: Because PSLF is available only on Direct Loans, borrowers may request
to consolidate those ineligible loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan. However,
consolidatingany existing Direct Loans into a new Direct Loan could cause a borrower
to lose potential qualifying payments toward forgiveness. They may wish to exclude any
Direct Loans in which they have already made qualifying payments from the new Direct
Consolidation Loan. Not all loans are eligible for consolidation. Click here for more
informationon Direct Loan ConsolidationOrigination(DLCO).
MISCONCEPTION: Satisfying the amount due on your monthly bill will make your
payment qualify for PSLF.
PSLF TRUTH: A borrower is required to make 120 separate on-time full monthly
payments after October 1, 2007. For the PSLF Program, a qualifying payment must
satisfy the full monthly payment due for that month. Even if a borrower has satisfied a
payment in advance (paid ahead status), they still need to make a full, regularly
scheduled monthly payment in order for it to count towards the required 120 qualifying
payments.

• If counseling a borrower for the first time about PSLF and their qualifying loans, be
sure to check NSLDS to determine if the borrower has eligible loans.
We should not ask the borrower what type of loans they have in order to determine
eligibility. Please take the time to use your resources and properly inform the borrower
of what actions they need/could take.

• Always check the PSLF Organization Database before discussing the employer's
eligibility when counseling a borrower. We should not indicate that an employer is
'most likely' or 'approved' to participate in PSLF without checking the PSLF
Organization Database first.
• If you are unable to review the database, advise the borrower to complete an
Employment Certification Form (ECF) in order to determine the employer's eligibility.

Summary
Fed loan Servicing (FLS) determines whether the borrower's employer qualifies for Public Service Loan
Forgiveness ( PSLF)when a borrower submits an Employment Certification Form (ECF). All of the borrower's
U.S. Department of Education-owned FFELPand Direct Loans that are not already serviced by FLSwill be
transferred to FLSif the employer qualifies and the borrower has at least one eligible Direct Loan. Having all
of the borrower's Department of Education-owned loans with the same servicer allows for more efficient
tracking of the borrower's progression in the PSLFProgram.
5
COMPASS M screen TL2U was created just for PSLFECFprocessing. When a borrower applies for PSLF,ATL2U
is used to create records for each ECFthat is sent to FLS. Additionally, if the borrower's loans are not with
FLS,the TL2U screen has a field by which FLSrequests the loans from other servicers.

Background
The Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)Program was established to encourage individuals to enter and
continue in full-time employment in lower-paying but vitally important public service jobs. The program
allows eligible borrowers to have the remaining balance of their Direct Loans forgiven after working full time
at one or more qualifying public service employer(s) for at least 10 years while making 120 qualifying monthly
payments after October 1, 2007.
Fedloan Servicing (FLS)has no specific requirement for the frequency of submitting the Employment
Certification Form (ECF); however, the general frequency guidance for submitting an ECFis once a year for
the prior year of employment to provide an update of the borrower's employment status. FLSalso
encourages borrowers to submit an ECFwhen they first express interest in the PSLFProgram and whenever
they change employers. ECFsubmittals allow FLSto track periods of qualified employment and the number of
qualifying payments.
Eligible Loans
The borrower must have at least one of the following types of Direct Loans with an outstanding balance
greater than $25 to qualify for PSLF:
Qualifying Employment
The borrower must be employed full-time by a qualified public service organization(s) or serving as a full-time
AmeriCorps or Peace Corps volunteer while making the 120 qualifying payments.
1) Employment qualifies as full-time if the borrower is working in one or more jobs for the greater of:
a) An annual average of at least 30 hours per week (or for a contractual or employment period of
at least 8 months, an average of 30 hours per week); or
b) The number of hours the employer considers full-time, unless the qualifying employment is
with more than one employer.
2) The Public Service Organization must be one of the following:
a) A government organization.
i) Including a federal, state, local, or tribal organization, agency, or entity; a public child or
family service agency; or a tribal college or university
ii) Excluding a member of the U.S. Congress.
iii) Congressional staff members and state legislators (and their staff) may qualify, except for
any period of time that they work for a political campaign, (For that timeframe, the staffer
ceases to be a government employee and is considered to be working on behalf of a
partisan political organization.)
b) A non-profit, tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code;
which includes most not-for-profit private schools, colleges, and universities.
c) A private, non-profit organization (that is not a labor union or a partisan political organization)
that provides at least one of the following types of public service:
i) Emergency management
ii) Military service
iii) Public safety
iv) Law enforcement
v) Public interest law services
vi) Early childhood education (including licensed or regulated child care, Head Start, and State
funded pre-kindergarten)
vii) Public service for individuals with disabilities and the elderly
viii) Public health (including nurses, nurse practitioners, nurses in a clinical setting, and
professionals engaged in health care-practitioner occupations and health support-
occupations, as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics)
ix) Public education
x) Public library services
xi) School library services
xii) Other school-based services
Note: A non-profit organization only qualifies if a borrower's qualifying employment does not include
time spent on job duties that are related to religious instruction, worship services, or any form of
proselytizing.
3) Periods of employment must be certified on an ECF.
4) The ECFmust be complete, signed, and dated by an authorized official from a qualifying public
service organization.
The borrower must provide supporting documentation to show employment at a qualified public service
organization if the borrower is unable to obtain certification of employment at a public service organization
because it no longer exists. The borrower must provide sufficient evidence that:
• The employee was employed for a particular year (based on W-2 form). Because the borrower must
submit W-2 forms for every year being certified, we can use the EIN on the W-2 to help determine if
the employer qualifies.
• The borrower was engaged in paid employment for the indicated period (paystubs).
• The borrower was employed in a full-time/part-time position, as indicated on the ECF.
ECFis Imaged
The ECFcan be received by mail, email, or fax.
Imaging DOC ID - XBCR
iii) After the Doc Comment box has been marked with the words "Logging Error" send the
image to the Review queue by selecting Review in the top right corner of the image.
iv) No documents can be processed on TL2U.
v) Place the document in the "Review" queue in FileNet.
vi) Once the document has been fixed, the image will be placed back into WorkFlow to be
completed.
k) If a borrower provides multiple ECFsthat are included on a single DCN, the processor must
enter the information for all ECFsinto~ Refer to Section 1.8, Process/Update ECFScreen.
I) If the borrower provides multiple ECFsthat are logged on FileNet on the same day and page 1
is only included in one of the ECFs,use the same page 1 for all the ECFsthat were received on
the same day.
m) If a borrower sends in an ECFthat includes both page 1 and 2, and the ECFis denied and we
subsequently receive a revised page 2 (within 30 days from the stamped date of page 1) for
the same employer that supports/corrects the reasons for the denial, the revised page 2 of the
ECFmay be used to approve the ECF.
Example:
Page 1 = Doc A
Page 2 = Doc B
Page 2a = Doc C
Doc A and Bare received on 08/01/2013, they are denied on 08/05/2013. Doc C is received
on 08/20/2013 (within 30 days from the stamped received date of Doc A) and because Doc
C is for the same employer and corrects the missing information from Doc B, we are able to
piece the documents together to process and approve the ECF.
n) If a borrower sends in an ECFthat only includes page 1 and we receive page 2 within 30 days
(from the stamp date of page 1) and we have not pieced page 1 of the ECFwith any other page
2. We can piece the 2 pages together to process as one whole application, but only if the
borrower's name and SSN appears at the top of page 2.
Example:
Page 1 = Doc A
Page 2 = Doc B
Page 2a = Doc C
Doc A is received on 08/01/2013 and never used before. Doc Bis received on 08/20/2013;
Doc A and Doc B can be pieced together and processed as one whole application.
Doc C is received on 08/21/2013 we cannot use Doc A again to process as another whole
application since Doc A was already used and approved with Doc B.
If Doc A and B together are a denial for the same employer as Doc C, then we can process
Doc A and Doc C together to support/correct the denied application.
o) Verify that the form is Office of Management and Budget (0MB) approved.
i) An OMS-approved form contains the 0MB approval number and the form's expiration
date in the upper right corner of the first page.
ii) If the borrower sends a form that is not the OM 8-approved ECF(contains X's in the
expiration date, and X's in the OM B code field at top of form), deny the request (see
Section 1.8 Process/Update ECFScreen).
• Deny through the system for the reason that the borrower and the authorized official
did not sign the ECF.
• Place an 'N' in the "Borrower Signed" field and place an 'N' in the (authorized official)
"Signed" field.
• Enter 'Y' in the "Bypass Ltr" field to bypass the system denial letter.
• Send the" Denied Invalid ECFNot 0MB Approved" manual denial letter. This letter is
located in Knowledge Base. See Section 1.8 (Process/Update ECFScreen, step 7), send a
manual denial letter.
• Comment the employment entry, as we are unable to process an invalid form. See
section 1.9 Commenting.
2) If the Document received is illegible and you are unable to determine the information on page 2 of
the form, deny the ECFby leaving all applicable fields from Section 3 and/or Section 4 of the form
blank when inputting onto~
a) Place a 'Y' in the Bypass letter field
b) Send the "Illegible Fax - ECFReceived Letter" manual denial letter. This letter is located in
Knowledge Base. See Section 1.8 Process/Update ECFScreen, step 7), send a manual denial
letter.
a) If one of the above criteria is met, compare the borrower signed date found on the form to the
last date verified (LASTVER) on the Borrower Demographic screen~.
b) When updating the email address, do not update the contact email address. The email address
should be added or updated to the home email address field.
c) If the borrower's loans are serviced by FLSand the name differs on the form from the name on
file, send the name discrepancy letter using thel(bl(5l I
d) Update minor variations (e.g., Kim/Kimberly, Mike/Michael)
2) If we are not servicing loans for the borrower:
a) Add the demographic information to ATL2U. See Section 1.8, Process/Update ECFScreen.
b) If the borrower provided a permanent address and a mailing address on the form, add the
mailing address tofbl(6l ~.
Note: If the borrower provides a previous/former name on the ECFand this is the only name showing
on NSLDSwith no history, then enter this name on~. (See the section below for instructions on
reviewing NSLDS.)
Example: Borrower lists Smith as their last name with a previous last name of Jones on the
ECF. If NSLDSlists the borrower's last name as Jones with no history of Smith, you must use
Jones.
3) If there is missing demographic information and we are not servicing loans for the borrower,
attempt to obtain demographics by contacting the borrower using the phone number provided.
a) If the SSN is missing, call the borrower to attempt to obtain the information.
(1) If no contact information is listed for the borrower, call the employer. As the SSN is
unlikely to be obtained from the borrower's employer due to privacy issues, ask the
employer to have the borrower contact FLS.Then, complete a PSCOMdocument to
notate the outbound call. See Section 1.9, Commenting. Proceed to section 1.3. If no
contact information is listed for the borrower, call the employer to obtain it.
(2) If no answer leave a message for the intended party with return contact information.
Be sure you are not calling before 8:00 AM or after 9:00 PM (their time). Always check
the location of the borrower to determine their time zone. If it is determined to be too
late to call the borrower or employer, place the image in the review queue in FileNet
and place the entry on hold on COMPASS5 M until you are able to call the next business
day.
Note: If you need assistance locating what time zone the borrower or employer is located in, please
refer to the map located in !Connect. Time Zone Dialing
(a) The message must include the following:
(i) Processor's first name.
(ii) Reference FedLoan Servicing.
(iii) Calling about a Public Service Loan Forgiveness form.
(iv) Advise to reference the reason for their call when they contact us (example: to
provide missing information).
(v) Leave the return number of 1-855-265-4038 and provide our hours of operation
(Monday- Friday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM EST.)
b)(6)
(4) Place the document into the review queue with a comment stating 'SSN missing, call
placed to the borrower.fbJ(6J I
(5) No further adjustments can be made as we do not have an SSN.
b) If the name or DOB is obtained from the borrower, complete a PSCOMdocument to notate the
outbound call. See Section 1.9, Commenting. Proceed to section 1.3.
i) If no answer leave a message for the intended party with return contact information. Be
sure you are not calling before 8:00 AM or after 9:00 PM (their time). Be sure to check the
location of the borrower to determine their time zone. If its determined to be too late to
call the borrower, place the image in the review queue in FileNet and place the entry on
5
hold on COMPASSM until you are able to call the next business day.
Note: If you need assistance locating what time zone the borrower or employer is located in, please
refer to the map located in !Connect. Time Zone Dialing
ii) The message must include the following:
(1) Processor's first name.
(2) Reference FedLoan Servicing.
(3) Calling about a Public Service Loan Forgiveness form.
(4) Advise to reference the reason for their call when they contact us. (Example: to provide
missing information).
(5) Leave the return number of 1-855-265-4038 and provide our hours of operation
(Monday- Friday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM EST.)
b)(6)
b) If the borrower's Direct Loans are all listed as defaulted on NSLDS,deny the request.
i) Deny the request for "no eligible loans" using the PSLF- No Eligible Loans Macro. See
Section 1.4, No Eligible Loans Macro
ii) Select 'Y' in the "Bypass Ltr" field to bypass the system denial letter.
iii) Send the "Denied Defaulted Loans" manual denial letter. This letter is located in
Knowledge Base. See Section 1.8 Process/Update ECFScreen, step 7), send a manual denial
letter.
iv) Comment the employment entry that all loans on NSLDSare listed as defaulted and a
manual denial letter was sent. See Section 1.10 Commenting.
v) Archive the form. See Section 1.11 Archive Image
c) If borrower does have at least one eligible Direct Loan with a balance greater than $25, make
note of eligible loans, including the Department of Education (DOE) servicer for each loan.
An example of a DOE servicer is below:
Approved Amt: 521.639 Disbursed Amt: S21,467 □ OPB: S20.811 Agg. OPS: S20.811
Loan Date: 06/07/2012 Sep. Loan Ind: A Loan Period: NIA - NIA
Last Oisb. Date: 06127/2012 Last Oisb. Amt: S462 Acad. Lv: NIA
EO Servicer: DEPT OF ED/FEDLOAN SERVICING(PHEAA)- 579
d) Do not use a servicer code for a commercial servicer. A commercial servicer is listed with a GA
and a Servicer Code. These types of loans should not be considered for PSLF.
An example of a commercial servicer is below:
Guaranteed Amt: $8,500 Disbursed Amt: $880 OPB: $755 Agg. OPB: $755
Loan Date: 04/0512005 Sep. Loan Ind: A Loan Period: 01104/2006 - 07/29/2006
Last Disb. Date: NIA Last Disb. Amt: $0 Acad. Lv: A
GA: USA FUNDS INC - 800
Servicer: NAVIENT SOLUTIONS INC. - 700191
3) If the borrower has at least one eligible Direct Loan, continue with a review of all DOE servicers
with which the borrower has loans (FFELPor DL). Review the loan details of the Direct Loans to
determine if they had more than one prior servicer.
a) View the details for all Direct PLUSLoans to determine if the loans are Direct parent PLUS
Loans.
b) If the borrower of the Direct parent PLUSLoan is not the person employed at the public service
organization, then the Direct parent PLUSLoan does not qualify for PSLFpurposes.
Example: A submitted ECFis for Paul Smith, and NSLDS(see screen shot below) indicates that
the Direct parent PLUSLoan was taken out by the parent, Jane Smith. The ECFfor Paul Smith
does not prove eligibility for Jane Smith's Direct parent PLUSLoan.
However, if we receive an ECFfor Jane Smith (the parent borrower), then the Direct parent
PLUSLoan may be eligible for PSLFif the borrower meets the qualifications.

Note: Many government agencies use the same EIN but are not affiliated with one another. If you are
able to determine that the organization is operated as government but is listed under a different
name and same EIN, you can approve the organization as GO. This will help eliminate un-needed
reviews in the PSLFDatabase.
Example: The employer on the ECFhas an EIN of 586000134. A search for the ElN yielded the
highlighted EIN; the database already lists the organization for this EIN. The View Details window
indicates that the employer associated with the ElN, Atlanta Public Schools, is approved as a
government organization.

3) If the organization (with same name, location, and EIN) has already been approved or denied (and
no additional documentation was provided) within the previous year, continue with processing
the ECF;it is not necessary to review the employer's eligibility again.
4) If the organization (with same name, location, and EIN) has a status of inconclusive, follow the
steps below:
a) If we received W-2s or proof of their non-profit status, comment the DCN of the correspondence in the
New Comment section of the employer entry and send a screen shot of the Database entry to the FLS
PSLFSupervisor Review mailbox to have it further reviewed.
i) Include all attachments in the email by exporting the images. Refer to FileNet Imaging
procedures. If additional information is needed the email will be responded to.
ii) Once a decision is made, the entry will be returned to you in the database. Process the ECF
according to the guidance provided. Refer to Section 1.8 Process/Update ECFScreen.
(1) If the employer is approved for a certain timeframe but denied for another, you will
need to add two separate records. One record will be for the approved timeframe, the
other will be for the denied timeframe. Ensure the account is commented thoroughly if
a new ECFis received for the same employer, but for a different borrower, and no
additional documentation is received.
(2) If the employer must be denied, follow the guidance placed in the comment history of
the database on how to deny the borrower on~
(a) If a manual letter is required, send an email to the FLSPSLFSupervisor Review
mailbox to have a manual letter drafted. In addition, include a screen shot of the
database entry for the organization.
b) If a new ECFfor the same borrower, same employer with different dates of employment and
no additional documentation is received:
i) Follow the guidance placed in the comment history of the database on how to deny the
borrower onl(bl(5l I.
ii) Send an email to the FLSPSLFSupervisor Review mailbox to have a manual letter drafted.
In addition, include a screen shot of the database entry for the organization.
c) If an organization is in an inconclusive status because Compliance is able to approve the
organization in part (for example, if the organization gained or lost their 501(c)(3) status so not
all employment can be approved).
i) Review the comments to see if the dates provided coincided with the dates listed on the
ECFbeing worked.
(1) If they do, you will need to add two separate records. One record will be for the
approved timeframe, the other will be for the denied time frame. Ensure the account is
commented thoroughly with the guidance provided. Refer to Section 1.8
Process/Update ECFScreen.
(2) If they do not, you will need to comment the DCN in the New Comment section of the
database.
(3) Once a decision is made, the entry will be returned to you in the database. Process the
ECFaccording to the guidance provided. Refer to Section 1.8 Process/Update ECF
Screen.
5) If the employer is listed as an approved not-for-profit organization, review the date in which the
employer was approved.
a) If the approved date is within one year from the date the new ECFis received, approve the ECF
based on the current approval in the database.
b) If the approved date was greater than one year from the date the new ECFis received, follow
the steps below.

i) Populate the ~rb=)( through l(b)(6) Ito have the employer reviewed to ensure they have
maintained their not-for-profit status with the IRS.
ii) The fbJ(Bl lwill be worked by one of the PSLFLeads to verify the employer still has their
not-for-profit status.
iii) If the employer still qualifies, the Lead will update the approved date in the database and
you may proceed with processing the ECF.
iv) If the employer is no longer approved, the Lead will update the database to reflect the
employer is denied, update the ECFrecord on [filfil[Jto reflect a denied status, and have the
borrower contacted.
v) Once a decision is made, the entry will be returned to you in the database. Process the ECF
according to the guidance provided. Refer to Section 1.8 Process/Update ECFScreen.

Google search for the organization's name.
(2) Click on the organization's website.
(3) View the pages for religious content under "About Us" and "Our Mission" sections to

(a) If the organization is affiliated with religion, processing of ECFrequest will be based
on the version of the ECFwas received. See the examples below.
(b) Below is the oldest version of the ECF.The *Note at the bottom states the religious
organization only qualifies if the borrower's job duties are unrelated to religious
instruction, worship services, or proselytizing. In addition, the date format for the
"Dates of Employment" field is listed as DD/MM/YYYY .

was modified to indicate that the full-time requirement for borrowers employed at
501(c)(3) and private non-profit organizations cannot include time spent on job
duties that are related to religious instruction, worship services, or any form of
proselytizing. In addition, the date format for the "Dates of Employment" field was
changed to MM/DD/YYYY,

(e) If the employer is affiliated with religion and the borrower submitted an oldest
version of the ECF(DD/MM/YYYY), check if the employer qualifies as 501(c)(3).
(i) If the employer qualifies as 501(c)(3), the request must be denied to advise the
borrower to send in a new ECF.
1. Place a 'Y' in the Bypass letter field
2. Send the "Denied Employed by Religious Org" manual denial letter. This
letter is located in Knowledge Base. See Section 1.8 Process/Update ECF
Screen, step 7).
(ii) If you are unable to determine if the employer qualifies as 501(c)(3), add the
employer to the Employer Database for Supervisor/Compliance/Federal Student
Aid (FSA) review.
1. If it is determined that the employer does not qualify, deny the ECFin the
system as employer not approved.
2. If it is determined that the employer qualifies, deny the ECFusing the same
method as if denying based on the religion related employer qualifying as a
not-for-profit.
(fl If the employer is affiliated with religion and the borrower submitted a newer
version of the ECF(MM/DD/YYYY) check if the employer qualifies as 501(c)(3),
follow Step 0 above.
(i) If the employer qualifies as 501(c)(3), approve the ECF.
(ii) If unable to determine if the religion-related employer qualifies as 501(c)(3),
add the employer to the Employer Database for Supervisor review.
1. If a Supervisor determines the employer qualifies as a not-for-profit,
approve the ECF.
2. If a Supervisor is unable to determine if the organization qualifies, it will be
forwarded to Compliance for additional review.
13) If it is determined that the employer is not affiliated with religion, review to see what type of
public service box is checked and begin your search with one of the corresponding websites for
that type of public service.
14) If no box is checked or the incorrect box is checked, using the resources below try to determine
the correct type of public service.
For government organizations:
1. Access www.usa.gov/agencies for Federal, State, Local or Tribal government organizations,
agencies, or entities.
Select the appropriate link ("State Government," "Local Government" or "Tribal
Government") to access the website for each state, local or tribal.
a) State government.
i. Click state from the list.
ii. Locate the department in which the agency would be located.
iii. Perform a search for the address of the agency.
iv. If the name of the agency and address match, the organization can be
approved with "GO" code.
b) If unable to locate the employer, perform a Google search for the organizations
website. If the domain for the government organization, agency, or entity is .gov or
.mil, then the employer is approved. The following are approved:
i. Public Schools
ii. Public School Districts
iii. Public Libraries
iv. Military Branch (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, State National
Guard)
c) When reviewing an employer that may be government, it cannot be approved just
because it appears on a state website. The employer would need to be organized
under statute or be a political subdivision, etc. in order to be approved under
government. If you are not certain, add the organization to the Employer Database for
further review.
Note: Employers listed on government websites that are typically not governmental entities are
nursing homes and daycare centers. Nursing homes and daycare centers often appear on a state
website because they are licensed by the state, not because they are governmental organizations. In
many instances, daycare centers and nursing homes are for-profit and not governmental.
Note: Although the U.S. Congress (U.S. Senate or House of Representatives) qualifies as a government
organization, members of the U.S. Congress (Senator or Representative) do not qualify for PSLF.
Congressional staff members and state legislators (and their staff) may qualify, except for any period
of time that they work for a political campaign, (For that timeframe, the staffer ceases to be a
government employee and is considered to be working on behalf of a partisan political organization.)
5. Email the account information if an ECFfor an employer affiliated with the U.S. Congress is
received to the "FLS PSLFSupervisor Review" mailbox for further review. Place the task on
hold until guidance is provided.

A3: If the borrower's employment time period is prior to October 1, 2007, the begin and end

Example: The borrower's employment begin date is 4/14/2005 and the end date of
employment is 10/25/2006. Since both the employment begin and end dates are prior to

The purpose of this change request is to implement a PSLFservicer to enable borrowers to track qualifying
payments and employment, using the Employment Certification form, while in the process of qualifying for PSLF.
Any borrower who is declared on-track for PSLFwill be transferred to the PSLFservicer, who will process all forms
and handle all communications regarding PSLF,as well as perform all non-PSLF related servicing functions on a
borrower portfolio, as required of all federal loan servicers. PSLFsummary tracking information will be reported by
the PSLFservicer to NSLDSfor purposes of data collection relating to implementation of forthcoming gainful
employment regulations.
Key Terms:
• "Qualifying payments" refer to those payments that meet all criteria specified in Requirement
#7, independent of the borrower's employment status.
• "Matched months" refer to those months for which qualifying employment has been validated
and matched with months of qualifying payment. These months are eligible to count towards
the 120 required to apply for PSLF.
• "Valid Employment Certification form (ECF)" is a complete, signed and dated form, which is
certified by an authorized official from a validated qualifying public service organization.
• The PSLFservicer would handle the tracking of qualifying payments, collection and review of all

applies for this benefit.
• For a borrower submitting an ECFto the PSLFservicer for the first time, if the form is
determined to be incomplete or does not support PSLFqualifying employment, the PSLF
servicer would communicate with the borrower but would not pull the loans from the existing
servicer until the borrower submits a valid ECF.
• All qualifying payments made prior to transfer to the PSLFservicer must be looked up using the
borrower history and servicing records, in order to match with periods of employment.

Part 4. Conclude review and match aualifvina oavments with aualifvina emolovment
STEP 1: Once qualifying employment is established, determine if qualifying payments were made within this
period.
• Count each month from the Start Date to End Date, where a qualifying payment was made. For the
first month, the actual payment date must be on or after the Start Date. For the last month, the
actual payment date must be before the End Date of each Employment Certification. For Part-time
employees, these conditions apply to each employer.
• For partial payments made, the actual payment date is the date on which the total of partial
payments equals to or is greater than the full scheduled payment due amount for that month.
• The scheduled payment date will determine the calendar month for which the qualifying payment is
counted.
Example: Scheduled payment date is July 1 but actual payment date is June 29. Assuming
the borrower does not have previous delinquencies, the qualifyinq payment ap~ lies to July.
If unable to validate PSLF qualifying employment, the notification should include the following:
• Identify the specific reason the ECF could not be approved at this time .
• Missing required information (specify)
• Unable to confirm employer is qualifying public service organization (can submit additional
evidence)
• Full-time requirement not met (will re-evaluate if additional ECF's are submitted for this period
of public service employment)
• Illegible (specify) or crossed out/altered information without initials of amender
• The borrower's federally held loans will remain with the borrower's original servicer until a valid
ECF is submitted.
• If an AmeriCorps or Peace Corps volunteer made qualifying payments during the period of service
these qualifying payments should be matched following normal procedures.
• If qualifying payments were not made during the period of service look for a lump sum payment.

Page 22 of 27
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
• If no lump sum was received contact the borrower reminding him/her that making a lump
sum payment from a Segal award or transition payment can be applied as PSLF-
qualifying payments.
• If a lump sum payment is received-from the National Service Trust for AmeriCorps, and
within 6 months of the End Date for Peace Corps-apply the lump sum as qualifying
payments, as allowed in the regulations.
Start from the last service month for which there is no corresponding qualifying payments and proceed
backwards up to 12 months.
Example: Borrower submits an ECF from the Peace Corps with service dates January 15, 2012-
November 30, 2013, during which time his Direct Loans were on a Peace Corps deferment.
Borrower submits a lump sum payment to servicer in the amount of $5000 (Note: only the maximum
transition award should be considered for this lump sum conversion-currently $7,425). Payment
was received January 10, 2013, within the allowed 60 days. The borrower's monthly payment would
have been $200.
$5000/$200= 25 months. Although the borrower was in service for 23 months, the maximum number
of qualifying payments (OPs) the borrower may receive credit for is 12.
These OPs match with 12 months of qualifying employment, starting with November 2013 to
December 2012. Use the 1st day of the month when recording credited OP date (e.g., 11/01/13,
10101/13, etc.). If a credit is applied to the Start Date month, use the Start Date (e.g. 01/15/12 if Start
month was one of the 12 credited OP months}.
~11an ECF is received with Peace Corps certification. do not reject for PSLF eligibility due to no QPs
until the 60-day window has expired.
Note on AmeriCorps Segal Awards:
AmeriCorps Segal Award payments do not have a 60-day from End Date payment requirement. A volunteer
has 7 vears after service to armlv Seaal Award.

STEP 1: Flag Employment Certifications received from borrowers who are/were AmeriCorps or Peace Corps
volunteers for lump sum payment exception.
• If an AmeriCorps or Peace Corps volunteer made qualifying payments during the period of service
these qualifying payments should be matched following normal procedures.
• If qualifying payments were not made during the period of service look for a lump sum payment.
• If no lump sum was received contact the borrower reminding him/her that making a lump
sum payment from a Segal award or transition payment can be applied as PSLF qualifying
payments.
• If a lump sum payment Is received (for AmerICorps-from the National Service Trust; for
Peace Corps-directly from the Borrower and wIthIn 6 months of the End Date of service),
apply the lump sum as qualifying payments, as allowed in the regulations.
Start from the last service month for which there is no corresponding qualifying payments and proceed
backwards up to 12 months.
Example:
• Borrower submits an ECF from the Peace Corps with service dates January 15, 2012-
November 30, 2013, during which time his Direct Loans were on a Peace Corps deferment.
• Borrower submits a lump sum payment to servicer in the amount of $5000 {Note: only the
maximum transition award should be considered for this lump sum conversion-currently
$7,425). Payment was received January 10. 2014. within the allowed 6 months from the End
Date of service. The borrower's monthly payment would have been $200.
• $5000/$200= 25 months. Although the borrower was in service for 23 months, the maximum
number of qualifying payments (QPs) the borrower may receive credit for is 12.
• These QPs match with 12 months of qualifying employment, starting with November 2013 to
December 2012. Use the 1st day of the month when recording credited OP date (e.g.,
11/01/13, 10/01/13, etc.). If a credit is applied to the Start Date month, use the Start Date
{e.g. 01/15/12 if Start month was one of the 12 credited OP months).
*If an ECF is received with Peace Corps certification, do not reject for PSLF eligibility due to no QPs until the
6 month window has expired.

qualifying payments I have made while employed in qualifying public service and the remaining number I must make before I
am eligible to apply for PSLF. I will also be notified in writing or electronically if the PSLF servicer determines that the form(s) I

partial forgiveness based on making a lesser number of qualifying monthly payments while working at a qualifying public

Introduction
The following questions and answers (Q&As) provide information about public service loan forgiveness. Throughout the
Q&As, we use the following terms:
• We means either ED or FedLoan Servicing, the servicer that is responsible for administering the Public Service
Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program on behalf of ED.
• Direct Loan Program refers to the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. This program includes Direct
Subsidized Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Direct PLUS Loans, and Direct Consolidation Loans. Direct
Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans are sometimes called "Stafford Loans."
• FFEL Program refers to the Federal Family Education Loan Program. This program includes Subsidized Federal
Stafford Loans, Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, and Federal Consolidation Loans.
No new loans have been made under this program since July 1, 2010.
• Perkins Loan Program refers to the Federal Perkins Loan Program. This program includes Federal Perkins
Loans, National Direct Student Loans, and Defense Student Loans.
• Income-driven repayment plan refers to a repayment plan that bases your payment amount on your income
instead of how much you owe. The following repayment plans are income-driven plans: The Revised Pay As You
Earn Plan (REPAVE Plan), the Pay As You Earn Plan (PAYE Plan), the Income-Based Repayment Plan (IBR
Plan), and the Income-Contingent Repayment Plan (ICR Plan).
• Loan servicer refers to the organization that collects your loan payments and completes other transactions
related to your federal student loans. Your loan servicer may or may not be the same organization as your loan
holder (the organization that "owns" your loans). If you are unsure who your loan servicer is, you can find this
information using "My Federal Student Aid" at StudentAid.gov/login, or you can call the Federal Student Aid
Information Center (FSAIC) at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243; TTY 1-800-730-8913).

General Information
2. What are the eligibility requirements for loan forgiveness under the PSLF Program?
You must be employed full-time by a qualifying employer when you make each of the required 120
qualifying payments on your Direct Loans, and also at the time you apply for loan forgiveness after
making the last of those 120 payments, and when you receive loan forgiveness.
3. Are loan amounts forgiven under PSLF considered taxable by the IRS?
No. According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), student loan amounts forgiven under PSLF are not
considered income for tax purposes. For more information, check with the IRS or a tax advisor.
5. Can I be certain that the PSLF Program will exist by the time I have made my 120
qualifying payments?
We cannot make any guarantees about the future availability of PSLF. The PSLF Program was created
by Congress, and Congress could change or end the PSLF Program.
Eligible Loans
6. I have federal student loans from a program other than the Direct Loan Program. Can I
qualify for PSLF?
PSLF is available only for Direct Loans. However, if you have loans made under another federal student
loan program, you may consolidate those loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan, which is eligible for
PSLF. To apply for a Direct Consolidation Loan, visit Studentloans.gov.
Note: Any payments you've made on your loans from other federal student loan programs before you
consolidate them into the Direct Loan Program will not count toward PSLF, even if they were made under
a qualifying repayment plan.

7. I consolidated my Direct Loans after I made qualifying PSLF payments on those loans.
Do the payments I made before consolidation still count toward PSLF?
No. Payments that you made on Direct Loans prior to consolidation do not count toward the 120 required
payments for PSLF. You will need to make 120 qualifying payments on the new Direct Consolidation
Loan. For this reason, if you have made qualifying PSLF payments on your Direct Loans and you are
thinking of consolidating those loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan along with loans you received under
other federal student loan programs, you should leave your Direct Loans out of the consolidation and
consolidate only your loans from other federal student loan programs.
I 0. Can a joint FFEL Consolidation Loan that I obtained with my spouse be consolidated
into a Direct Consolidation Loan so that one or both of us can qualify for PSLF?
No. The law no longer permits joint consolidation loans to be made, so joint FFEL Consolidation Loan
borrowers may not jointly reconsolidate their FFEL Consolidation Loan into a Direct Consolidation Loan.
In addition, a borrower may not individually reconsolidate a joint FFEL Consolidation Loan into a new
Direct Consolidation Loan to take advantage of PSLF.
First, your PSLF eligibility is based on your qualifying employment, not on the employment of the
dependent student on whose behalf you borrowed. Second, PLUS loans received by parents may not be
repaid under the income-driven plans, the repayment plans that are best for borrowers seeking PSLF.
However, if you consolidate a PLUS loan that you took out on behalf of your child, you may then repay
the new Direct Consolidation Loan under the ICR Plan (but not the REPAVE, PAYE, or IBR plans).
Note: PLUS loans made to graduate and professional students may be repaid under any of the income-
driven plans.
12. What Direct Loan Program repayment plans qualify under the PSLF Program?
To count toward PSLF, payments must be made under one or more of the following repayment plans:

Qualifying Repayment Plans
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
• Any other plan with payments that are at least equal to the monthly payment amount you would be
required to pay under the 10-Year Standard Repayment Plan
Although the 10-Year Standard Repayment Plan qualifies for PSLF, it requires you to fully pay off your
loan within 1O years (120 monthly payments). Therefore, you will not have any remaining loan balance to
be forgiven if you make all of your 120 qualifying payments under the 10-Year Standard Repayment Plan.
The 10-Year Standard Repayment Plan and other plans with payments that are equal to the 10-Year
Standard Repayment Plan amount are included as eligible repayment plans for PSLF purposes so that
borrowers may receive credit toward the required 120 PSLF payments for any payments they may have
made under those plans before switching to an income-driven plan.
14.1 m repaying my Direct Consolidation Loan under the Standard Repayment Plan. Does
that plan qualify for PSLF?
Generally, no. The Standard Repayment Plan for Direct Consolidation Loans is not the same repayment
plan as the 10-Year Standard Repayment Plan, and payments made under the Standard Repayment
Plan for Direct Consolidation Loans do not usually qualify for PSLF purposes.
Under the Standard Repayment Plan for Direct Consolidation Loans, the maximum repayment period
may be up to 30 years, depending on the amount of the consolidation loan and the amount of your other
education loan debt. This longer repayment period generally results in a lower monthly payment than the
monthly payment amount required under the 10-Year Standard Repayment Plan.
If you're seeking PSLF, the best option would be to repay your Direct Consolidation Loan under an
income-driven repayment plan.
15. What other Direct Loan repayment plans would give me a monthly payment that is at
least equal to the payment that would be required under a 10-Year Standard
Repayment Plan?
Under the Graduated Repayment Plan, payments start out lower and then gradually increase, generally
every two years. Therefore, payments made during the later portion of the repayment period under the
Graduated Repayment Plan may in some cases equal or exceed the payment amount that would be
required under a 10-Year Standard Repayment Plan, and these payments would count for PSLF.
16. If I'm repaying my Direct Loans under the PAYE or IBR Plan and my monthly payments
are no longer based on my income, will my payments continue to count for PSLF?
Yes. Although you will always initially have a payment based on your income in the PAYE and IBR plans,
under certain circumstances your monthly payment under those plans may no longer be based on
income. However, your monthly payments will continue to qualify for PSLF if you remain on the PAYE or
IBR plan.

17. I'm in the process of rehabilitating a defaulted Direct Loan. Will my rehabilitation
payments count toward PSLF?
No. Payments made to rehabilitate a defaulted Direct Loan do not qualify for PSLF
Qualifying Payments
20. If I pay more than my scheduled monthly student loan payment amount, can I get PSLF
sooner than IO years?
No. You must make 120 separate monthly payments. Paying extra will not make you eligible to receive
PSLF sooner.
If you make a payment for more than the scheduled payment amount, the excess amount may be applied
to cover all or part of one or more future payments, unless you request otherwise. Depending on how
much extra you pay, it's possible that your next due date could be a month or more in the future from the
date you made the extra payment amount. If you make subsequent payments during a period when you
are not required to make a payment (that is, when your account is paid ahead), those payments will not
count toward PSLF.
If you request that your extra payment amount not be applied to future scheduled payments, the excess
amount will not advance the due date of your next scheduled payment, and any subsequent monthly
payments you make can count toward the required 120 payments.
21. If I return to school and qualify for an in-school deferment on my Direct Loans that are in
repayment. can I decline the deferment and make qualifying PSLF payments while I'm
in school?
Yes. You may decline an in-school deferment on your loans that are in repayment status and make
qualifying payments on those loans while you are in school. Remember, in order for your payments to
qualify for PSLF, you must be employed full-time by a public service organization while you attend school.
Note: If you receive new Direct Subsidized Loans or Direct Unsubsidized Loans when you return to
school, you will not be able to make qualifying PSLF payments on those loans while you are in school.
Any new Direct Subsidized Loans or Direct Unsubsidized Loans you receive will not enter repayment until

Qualifying Payments

the end of the six-month grace period. Although you could voluntarily make payments on your new Direct
Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans while you are in school or during your grace period,
those payments would not count toward PSLF.
22. Can I waive the six-month grace period on my Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct
Unsubsidized Loans and begin making qualifying PSLF payments early?
No. The law that governs the Direct Loan Program does not allow borrowers to waive the grace period on
Direct Subsidized Loans and Direct Unsubsidized Loans. You cannot begin making qualifying PSLF
payments until after your loans have entered repayment at the end of the grace period. Any payments
you make on a loan during the grace period will not count toward PSLF.
However, if you want to immediately begin making qualifying payments on your federal student loans as
soon as you leave school, you may consolidate your loans into a Direct Consolidation Loan during your
grace period and enter repayment right away.
23. l"m thinking of serving as a Peace Corps or AmeriCorps volunteer and plan to request a
deferment or forbearance on my Direct Loans. If l"m not making payments during my
service period, can I receive credit toward PSLF?
If you receive a deferment or forbearance during your volunteer service, you can use the transition
payment you receive after completing your period of Peace Corps service or the Segal Education Award
you may receive after AmeriCorps service to make a lump-sum payment on your Direct Loans. If you use
some or all of your Peace Corps transition payment or AmeriCorps Segal Education Award to make a
lump-sum payment on your Direct Loans, you will receive credit for up to 12 qualifying payments for
PSLF. The number of payments for which you receive credit is determined by dividing the amount of your
lump-sum payment by your scheduled full monthly payment amount, but you may not receive credit for
more than 12 monthly payments toward the PSLF payment requirement. This benefit is available to you
only one time for Peace Corps service and one time for AmeriCorps service. However, there is an
alternative that you may want to consider.
As an alternative to receiving a deferment or forbearance during your volunteer service and then using
your Peace Corps transition payment or Segal Education Award to make a lump sum payment on your
loans, you could choose to not request a deferment or forbearance and instead make qualifying PSLF
payments during your volunteer service. If you repay your Direct Loans under an income-driven plan,
your required monthly payment is likely to be an amount that you can afford even while you are
performing volunteer service and receiving very little income. For some borrowers, the required monthly
payment amount under one of these repayment plans may be $0.
If you do not request a deferment or forbearance and instead make payments under an income-driven
plan during your Peace Corps or AmeriCorps service, you may be able to receive credit for a larger
number of qualifying PSLF payments than you would if you received a deferment or forbearance and then
used your Peace Corps transition payment or Segal Education Award to make a lump-sum payment on
your Direct Loans. This is because you can receive credit for a maximum of only 12 qualifying payments if
you make the lump-sum payment, but each payment you make under the income-driven plan (including a
scheduled payment amount of $0) while you are serving as a full-time Peace Corps or AmeriCorps
volunteer counts as a qualifying PSLF payment if it meets all of the requirements described elsewhere in
this document.

24. If my scheduled monthly payment under an income-driven plan is SO, does each month
during which my payment is SOcount toward the required 120 separate, monthly
payments?
Yes. Any month when your scheduled payment under an income-driven plan is $0 will count toward PSLF
if you also are employed full-time by a qualifying employer during that month.
25. If I make payments more frequently than monthly (for example. twice each month, when
I get paid). will my payments count toward PSLF?
If you make multiple partial payments that total at least your monthly payment amount, and you make
those payments no later than 15 days after the scheduled payment due date for that month's payment,
the series of partial payments will count as a one qualifying payment for PSLF.
For example, if your required monthly payment is $200 and you make two $100 payments no later than
15 days after your due date, you would receive credit for one qualifying payment.
Qualifying Employment
26. What types of employers are qualifying employers for the PSLF Program?
All federal, state, local, or tribal government agencies or organizations, and many not-for-profit
organizations, are qualifying employers for PSLF.
Note: Service as an elected member of the U.S. Congress is not qualifying employment for PSLF.
28. What not-for-profit organizations qualify as eligible employers for the PSLF Program?
Eligible not-for-profit organizations include
• those that are tax-exempt under section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and
• those that are nottax-exempt under section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, but provide a
qualifying public service.
However, if the organization is a labor union or a partisan political organization, it is not an eligible PSLF
employer. In addition, if you perform religious activities as part of your job, there are limitations on your
ability to have your employment qualify for PSLF.
Eligible not-for-profit organizations include most private elementary and secondary schools, private
colleges and universities, and thousands of other organizations. Your employer can tell you if it is a not-
for-profit organization and what its tax status is, or you can use the searchable database of tax-exempt
organizations at www.lRS.gov.
A not-for-profit organization that is not exempt under section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code must
provide one of the following public services:

• Emergency management
• Military service
• Public safety
• Law enforcement
• Early childhood education (including licensed or regulated childcare, Head Start, and state-funded
pre-kindergarten)
• Public health (including nurses, nurse practitioners, nurses in a clinical setting, and full-time
professionals engaged in health care practitioner occupations and health care support occupations)
• Public education
29. I'm employed full-time by a qualifying not-for-profit organization. but my Job duties
include religious activities. Does my employment qualify for PSLF?
It depends on how much of your job is related to religious activities. When determining whether you are a
full-time employee for PSLF, your employer may not include the time you spend participating in religious
instruction, worship services, or any form of proselytizing.
30. What types of public service Jobs will qualify me for loan forgiveness under the PSLF
Program?
The specific job that you perform does not matter, as long as you are employed by an eligible public
service organization. For example, if you are a full-time employee of a public school system, your
employment would meet the requirements for PSLF, regardless of your position (teacher, administrator,
support staff, etc.).
32.1 am a teacher who does not teach over the summer break. If I make payments during
the summer. do those payments count toward PSLF?
Payments you make during the summer will count if you have a contract for an employment period of at
least eight months and you work an average of 30 hours per week during that period, and if your
employer still considers you to be employed full-time during the summer break. Of course, the payments
must otherwise meet all PSLF requirements. In this circumstance, your employer should include the dates
of the summer break when reporting your dates of employment on the PSLF Employment Certification
Form, even though you are not actually teaching during that period.

33. I'm working for more than one employer during the same period of time. but I'm not
employed by any one of them on a full-time basis. Will my combined employment be
considered full-time for PSLF?
Yes, as long as the combined number of hours you work for each employer equals at least 30 hours per
week. Each employer must be a qualifying employer for the employment to be included in determining
whether you are employed on a full-time basis.
For example, if you worked for one qualifying employer for 10 hours per week and you concurrently
worked for a second qualifying employer for 20 hours per week, this would meet the 30 hours per week
requirement.
34. ls Peace Corps or AmeriCorps service considered qualifying employment for PSLF?
Yes, if you are serving as a full-time Peace Corps or AmeriCorps volunteer.
35. I'm employed full-time by a company that is doing work for a qualifying PSLF employer
under a contract. However, the company that I work for is not a qualifying PSLF
employer. Does this employment qualify for PSLF?
No. You must be employed full-time by a qualifying employer.
36. I know that employment with a public school qualifies for PSLF. What about
employment with a private school?
Most private elementary and secondary schools, and private colleges and universities are not-for-profit
organizations. If a private school has this status, it would qualify as a public service organization for PSLF
purposes.
However, employment with a private school, college, or university that operates on a for-profit basis is not
eligible employment for PSLF purposes.
37. Can I receive PSLF if I have more than one employer over the course of IO years?
Yes. However, you must provide documentation that demonstrates that you were employed full-time by a
qualifying employer at the time you made each of the required 120 payments.
38. If I'm employed by a 501 (c)(3) organization. but I work outside the United States, would
the employment qualify under the PSLF program?
Yes. Full-time employees of 501 (c)(3) organizations may perform their work anywhere.
39.1 ma full-time employee of a foreign not-for-profit organization that is not a 501 (c)(3)
organization. Will my employment with this not-for-profit organization qualify for PSLF?
It depends on whether the organization operates in the United States.
If the organization operates in the U.S., your employment would qualify for PSLF purposes. If the
organization does not operate in the U.S., your employment does not qualify.

41. l"m employed full-time by an eligible public service organization in one of the islands
that have a legal relationship with the United States. Will that employment qualify for
PSLF purposes?
Yes. American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of
Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau are considered part of the United States for PSLF.
42. Does full-time volunteer service for a public service organization qualify for PSLF?
No. Unless you are an AmeriCorps or Peace Corps volunteer, you must be a full-time employee who is
hired and paid by a public service organization.
43.1 am serving a fellowship with a qualifying employer. Does this qualify for PSLF?
It depends on the terms of your fellowship. It would qualify only if you are considered an employee who is
hired and paid by the public service organization where you are serving the fellowship.
44. Are vacation and leave periods considered when determining whether I am a full-time
employee?
Vacation or leave time provided by your employer is counted as hours worked in determining whether you
meet the full-time employment requirement. This includes leave taken for a qualifying condition under the
Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.
45.1 m the only official who can certify my employment. Can I certify my own qualifying
employment?
Yes, you may certify your own employment if you are the only employee of the organization who can do
so. However, we will request additional documentation concerning your employment, such as earnings
statements, IRS W-2 forms, your application for tax-exempt status, or any other documentation required
to be filed with the IRS on a periodic basis regarding the activities of the organization.
46. What if I make my last qualifying payment while working for a qualifying employer. but
then leave that job to work for a for-profit corporation before applying for the PSLF
benefit. Am I still eligible for PSLF?
No. To be eligible for forgiveness after making 120 qualifying payments, you must be employed full-time
by a qualifying employer at the time you made each qualifying payment, at the time you apply for loan
forgiveness, and at the time you receive loan forgiveness.

Therefore, if you leave your job at a qualifying employer after meeting the PSLF eligibility requirements
but before you apply for loan forgiveness, you would not be eligible for forgiveness since you must be
working for a qualifying employer at the time you apply for and receive forgiveness. However, you could
regain eligibility if you later find full-time employment at another qualifying public service organization and
then apply for loan forgiveness.
Application Process
47. How can I find out if my employment and payments qualify for PSLF?
If you submit the PSLF Employment Certification Form at
https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/sites/default/files/public-service-employment-certification-form.pdf,
we will tell you if your employment and payments qualify for PSLF. You are encouraged to submit this
form to FedLoan Servicing, our PSLF servicer, annually while you are working to fulfill the requirements
for PSLF so that you will receive feedback on the eligibility of your employment and payments on an
ongoing basis.
After you submit your first Employment Certification Form, and if our PSLF servicer determines that your
employment qualifies, all of your loans owned by the U.S. Department of Education will be transferred to
the PSLF servicer, which will then verify that the loan payments you made during the period covered by
the Employment Certification Form are qualifying payments. After reviewing your Employment
Certification Form, the PSLF servicer will tell you how many qualifying payments you have made toward
PSLF.
48. After I submitted the Employment Certification form. I was notified that I would now have
a different servicer for my federally held student loans. Why did my servicer change?
One of the federal loan servicers, FedLoan Servicing, has been assigned the responsibility of
administering PSLF for all Direct Loan borrowers. As a result, if you submit an Employment Certification
Form and FedLoan Servicing determines that your employment qualifies, all of your Direct Loans as well
as any of your FFEL Program loans that are held by ED will be transferred to FedLoan Servicing.
49. What kind of documentation do I need to keep to show that I worked for a qualifying
PSLF employer while making the required 120 payments on my Direct Loan(s)?
The PSLF servicer will confirm that your employer is a qualifying public service organization based on the
information provided on the Employment Certification Form that you submit. In some cases, the PSLF
servicer may require additional documentation about your qualifying employment. Therefore, you should
keep records that identify your employer, show your dates of employment with that employer, confirm that
you were a full-time employee, and demonstrate that your employer meets the definition of a public
service organization. Examples of such documents include, but are not limited to, IRS W2 forms and pay
stubs.
You should retain as many documents supporting your qualifying employment as possible.
Please note that the earliest any borrower will be able to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness is
October 2017. Therefore, there is no application for forgiveness yet. The application will be released
closer to the time when the first borrowers will qualify for forgiveness.

51. When l"m ready to submit my loan forgiveness application. do I need to submit any
other documents to the PSLF servicer?
Yes. Even if you submitted Employment Certification Forms to the PSLF servicer during the entire period
when you were making your 120 qualifying payments, you will need to submit one additional Employment
Certification Form to verify that you are employed full-time with a qualifying public service organization at
the time you submit your PSLF application.
If you did not submit any Employment Certification Forms, did not submit forms for some of your
employers, or submitted forms for only a portion of your period of qualifying employment, you will need to
provide one or more Employment Certification Forms, as necessary, to cover your entire period of
qualifying employment (including your current employment) at the time you submit your loan forgiveness
application.
52.1 made some qualifying payments. but I no longer work for my qualifying employer and
do not think I will work in qualifying employment again. Can I receive partial forgiveness
based on the number of qualifying payments that I made?
No. There is no partial loan forgiveness. To receive PSLF, you must make all 120 qualifying payments
while working for a qualifying employer.
53. When I submit my application for loan forgiveness after making the required 120
qualifying payments. how long will it take to process my application and forgive my
remaining loan balance?
Processing times will vary depending on factors such as whether you previously submitted documentation
of employment for review or submitted documentation only at the time you applied for loan forgiveness,
the number of your employers, any gaps in your employment or payment history, and any required follow-
up.
If you periodically submitted the Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness Form so
that your eligibility could be tracked while you were making the required 120 payments, your application
for loan forgiveness will likely be processed more quickly.
The PSLF servicer will notify you that you are not required to continue making payments on your loans
during the period when your loan forgiveness application is being processed.
The PSLF servicer will also grant forbearance of payments of principal and interest to cover the period
when collection activity was suspended during the application processing period. If you are not granted
forgiveness, interest that accrues (accumulates) during a period of suspended collection activity may be
capitalized.
Capitalization means that we add accrued interest to the unpaid principal amount of your loan.
Capitalization increases the unpaid principal balance of your loan, and we will then charge interest on the
increased principal amount.

55. If I receive loan forgiveness under the federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program after
completing five years of qualifying teaching service, will I also be able to qualify for
PSLF?
Yes. However, you may not receive a benefit under both the Teacher Loan Forgiveness Program and the
Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program for the same period of teaching service. For example, if you
make payments on your loans during your five years of qualifying employment for Teacher Loan
Forgiveness and then receive loan forgiveness for that service, the payments you made during that five-
year period will not count toward PSLF.
56. If I m employed by a qualifying employer and receive a student loan repayment benefit
from my employer under the Federal Student Loan Repayment Program or under
another employer-based student loan repayment program. can I also receive PSLF
based on the same employment?
Yes. You may receive benefits under both an employer loan repayment plan, including the Federal
Student Loan Repayment Program and the PSLF Program for the same period of qualifying public
service.
Note: If your employer makes a single lump-sum payment that covers multiple monthly student loan
payments, it will count as only one qualifying monthly payment and may affect whether future payments
qualify.

Dear Ms.~
In 2012, you corresponded with Ms. Maureen Dowling in the U.S. Department of Education's
{the Department's) Office of Innovation and Improvement concerning the status of your
employer, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), as a qualifying employer for
purposes of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program.
Under the PSLF Program, borrowers of federal student loans made under the William D. Ford
Federal Direct Loan Program (the Direct Loan Program) may qualify for forgiveness of their
remaining loan balance after they have made 120 qualifying payments while employed full-time
by an eligible public service organization. Under section 455(m) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended [20 USC 1087e(m)], and the implementing PSLF Program regulations at 34
CFR 685.219(b), an eligible public service organization is a government entity, a public child or
family service agency, an entity that is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC), a tribal college or university, or a private not-for-profit organization that
provides certain types of public services as listed in paragraph {5)(i) of the definition of "public
service organization" in 34 CFR 685.219(b).
Ms. Dowling referred your question to staff at the Department's Federal Student Aid office and
Office of Postsecondary Education, both of which are responsible for the management and
oversight of the PSLF Program. Our preliminary review of your employer's status in 2012
suggested that AILA was a not-for-profit organization that provided public interest law services.
This would make AILA a qualifying employer for purposes of the PLSF Program. We relayed
this information to you through Ms. Dowling.
Earlier this year, another employee of AILA submitted an Employment Certification for Public
Service Loan Forgiveness form to FedLoan Servicing, the Department's designated federal
student loan servicer for borrowers who are seeking a determination of whether their
employment and payments qualify for the PSLF Program. Upon receipt of an Employment
Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form, FedLoan Servicing is responsible for
officially determining whether the employer listed by a borrower on the form is a qualifying
employer tor purposes of the PSLF Program. In instances where FedLoan Serving cannot
clearly determine whether an employer qualifies, at least one Department of Education manager
performs an additional review and, if necessary, consults with the Department's Office of
General Counsel, before a final determination of the employer's status is made and
communicated to the borrower. This was the process used following receipt of the AILA
employee's submission of the Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness
form to FedLoan Serving. Through this more thorough review process, we determined that
AILA is not a qualifying employer for purposes of the PSLF Program, for the reasons explained
below.
We determined that AILA is a private not-for-profit organization that is tax-exempt under section
501 (c)(6) of the IRC. Because AILA is not a tax-exempt entity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, it can only qualify as an eligible employer for purposes of the PSLF
Program if it provides one of the public services listed in paragraph (5)(i) of the regulatory
definition of "public service organization." Qualifying types of public service that we considered
included public education and public interest law.
1
830 F•''ol Stre-~t. N[ Nasl11·-,g 1 ,::11 DC: ;202c;,~
The Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form that Fed Loan Servicing
received from the AILA employee indicated that AILA provides "public education services". Our
research shows that AILA is a professional bar association primarily engaged in advocacy and
providing news and commentary on immigration issues to its members, and to the public in
general. For PSLF purposes, the Department considers "public education services" to be
services that provide educational enrichment or support directly to students or their families in a
school or a schooHike setting. Because AILA's educational activities are directed primarily to its
members and to the public in general, not to students or families, and are not provided in a
school or school-like setting, AILA does not provide public education for the purposes of the
PSLF Program.
We also reconsidered whether AILA provides public interest law services. For purposes of the
PSLF Program, "public interest law" is defined in 34 CFR 685.219(b) as "legal services
provided by a public service organization that are funded in whole or in part by a local, State,
Federal, or Tribal government." After further review, we determined that employees of AILA do
not provide public interest law services. Rather, such services are provided by AILA's member
attorneys. AILA's "find a lawyer" site at www.ailalawyer.com specifically states that AILA and
ailalawyer.com offer "no legal advice, recommendations, mediation, or counseling under any
circumstance," but merely assist individuals in finding an attorney.
Based on our more thorough review of AILA's status, and notwithstanding the informal
information we provided in 2012, we have determined that AILA is not a qualifying employer for
PSLF purposes. We regret any confusion that may have been caused by our earlier opinion,
but we must comply with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements for the PSLF
Program.
If you have further questions concerning our determination of AJLA's status or the PSLF
Program, please contact Ian Foss of my staff, at ian.foss@ed.gov or 202-377-3681.

Can we get a copy of one of the retraction letters (redacted) and also confirm that
the organization claimed to be a non-501 (c)(3) not-for-profit that was claiming to
provide public interest legal services. I realize that some may have come in as being
from the 501 (c)(3), even if it were ultimately determined that the borrower didn't
work there. So I'm asking about the ones that came in directly from the ABA.
Hi Ian!
Based on the query the Business Unit performed, there were 9 borrowers who were denied
outright and a total of 19 that received retraction letters. Of the 19 who received retractions
letter, 14 were picked up in this most recent query the Business Unit ran.
The longest timeframe from the date the borrower was originally approved to the date
retracted was 45 months. However, one thing to note for that particular borrower, the
Business Unit only retracted about 10 months of employment (from 8/2011 to 5/2012).

Hi Ian! Outside of the employers Taneka listed below I don't believe we had forwarded any
other "Bar" or "Bar Associations" for review. Although we didn't escalate the employer, I
know you also initially made a determination on the American Immigration Lawyers
Association (which Jeff Baker also drafted a letter to the borrower that Taneka shared with
us).
I know in the beginning we were struggling with associations in general and specifically
organizations that would qualify under the "public interest legal services" category. At one
point, I know we had talked through it over the phone, which gave us a clearer
understanding of this category. Once we grasped what organization would/would not
qualify under this category, we internally made the decisions and only escalated to you the
ones we were on the fence about.
In regards to the American Bar Association, we made the decision internally that they do
not qualify and provided this guidance to the Business Unit. As we received ECFs from
borrowers employed by the American Bar Association, we were denying.
I know in some instances there were borrowers who were certified as working in a
qualifying arm of the American Bar Association (e.g. American Bar Association Fund for
Justice and Education under the EIN 36-6110299). If we had a reason to question it, we
would request the borrower's W-2 to confirm who actually paid the borrower. In most
instances, the borrower turned out to be employed by the American Bar Association directly
under the EIN 36-0723150. In light of your decision on ACLU, we now have reason to
question this further.
We were recently escalated an account for the American Bar Association where the
previous approval had not been retracted. As a result, the Business Unit ran a query to
identify and clean up those borrowers who may have been approved under the American
Bar Association in the past who should not have been. This is most likely where the
retraction of the previous approval came from.
Thanks!

I received this email chain from Dan, which includes mostly an exchange b/w Kim
Myers and various people with DOE. I call your attention to Kim's email to DOE on
April 8, 2016, at 2:12 pm, which seems to suggest that FLS made the decision that
the ABA did not qualify.
I cannot be sure, based on this chain, whether FSA had any initial input into that
decision.
Here's the history that I was provided. I did not talk to Kim Myers directly. We
should circle back with her and get the history, but I believe it's all contained in the
emails.
Thanks,
Dan
Kim has said that, knowing what we know now, we should not have
approved the employment: however, at the time, based on decisions
made by FSA on other bar associations, we used the guidance we were
given at the time and approved. Of course, this particular employer was

Hi Tankea! Again, I apologize for the delay. I wanted to ensure I provided you with
accurate details. Overall it appears the Business Unit retracted a total of 320
employers, with a breakdown as follows: 4 in 2012, 37 in 2013, 123 in 2014, 64 in
2015 and 92 in 2016. These numbers also include the employers that you are aware
of. I know the Business Unit performed some clean-ups (specifically in 2014 and
2016) to identify any employers who might have been approved in error.
Based on internal reviews (those outside of the employers we escalated to FSA), the
breakdown of retractions is as follows: 243 were deemed for-profit and 49 were
deemed not-for-profit but not providing a qualifying public service. There were some
other miscellaneous retractions (e.g. we retracted the approval to request additional
clarifying information due to conflicting information received via a later ECF,the
borrower was determined to be a volunteer, etc). Just to note, some of the
retractionswere due to the borrower providinginaccurateinformationon the initial
ECFwhich wasn't identified until he/she submitted a subsequent ECFwith conflicting
information.

Thanks again for pulling information regarding the American Bar Association.
Moving forward, we would also like to review a copy of the retraction letter(s)
before they are sent to the borrower regarding their qualifying employment.
On this end, we are in the early stages of discussing ways that FSAcan improve
StudentAid.gov and other outlets to increase transparency regarding the PSLF
process and eligiblity for non-501(c)(3) employers providing qualifying public
services. I'll make sure to provide PHEAAwith an update as more information is

With the retraction letters, we had previously advised that the Business
Unit that they need to include more detail. Previously it was very
generic (it just basically stated that the employer was retracted, but
didn't give much explanation as to why). It has gotten better, but we can
certainly work more with the Business Unit to "beef" up the denial
letters. Any suggestions you have would also be appreciated.

Hi Kim,
Quick question for the retraction tab - Is the processed column date the date
that the borrower's ECFwas approved?
Thank you,

Hi Kim,
If possible, we need a secure file listing the borrowers names, SSN, Employer
EIN, the date the ECFwas received, Processed, Approved, Denied, Retracted
,and Notes (if applicable). Additionally, we would also like to see a few
approval, denial and retraction letters for the borrower who had their approval

this information as soon as possible we would appreciate it. Please let me know
if you have concerns.

Can we get a copy of one of the retraction letters (redacted) and also confirm
that the organization claimed to be a non-501(c)(3) not-for-profit that was
claiming to provide public interest legal services. I realize that some may have
come in as being from the 501(c)(3), even if it were ultimately determined that
the borrower didn't work there. So I'm asking about the ones that came in
directly from the ABA.
Hi Ian!
The longest timeframe from the date the borrower was originally
approved to the date retracted was 45 months. However, one thing to
note for that particular borrower, the Business Unit only retracted about
10 months of employment (from 8/2011 to 5/2012).

Hi Ian,
I don't show anything on record for the American Bar Association I only have
documentation of decisions made regarding the King County Bar Association,
Bar Association of San Francisco, State Bar of Wisconsin, and the District of
Columbia Bar.
Thanks,

Hello all,
Can you summarize for me what we've done regarding PSLFand the American
Bar Association? We just got a letter saying we approved them and then
retracted it several years later. I'm not finding record that I worked on it
personally, but that doesn't mean its so.

Ian - While the 'Standardized Review Process' didn't go into great detail regarding
the private not-for-profit scenario, the document states "Google for website ... If exact
match found and website clearly indicates qualifying not-for-profit status, approve".
This processwas a high overview and more detailed procedureswere utilized
internally. We agree, this is poorly written, but the intent of "qualifying" not-for-
profit status meant it had to provide a qualifying public service.
We have always reviewed a not-for-profit employer (non 501 (c)(3)) for qualifying
publicservice. As you know, there is no clear-cut review processto go though;
however, over the course of Compliances involvement and through developing our
researchskills,we created a formalizedprocedurewe utilizewhile reviewingthe
escalated employers.
Based on our documentation, and from what we can remember, we had escalated all
private not-for-profits to FSA. We also escalated any governmental or 501 (c)(3)
employers we were unsure of. Based on your 2/28/12 email, you are correct, we
interpretedyour email to mean we could make decisionsinternallyunlessit was
unclear,
Taneka - In regards to your request for 501 (c)(4) employer data, we noted there
were a total of 149 escalated to Compliance. Of these, 15 were escalated to FSA (7
approved and 8 denied. Of the remaining 134, we approved 30, denied 95, and
returned 9 to the Business Unit to obtain additional information. Please note, these
numbersare based on the informationwe inputted into our spreadsheet. Therefore,
if we didn't specifically note the employer was 501 (c)(4), they would not appear in
our query.
Please let us know if you need any additional information. Have a great weekend!

Hi Taneka!
We recall both the discussion with Ian and receiving the ECF
Processing Protocol in December 2011, that was shared with the
Business Unit to be used when processing ECFs.
Our interpretation of Ian's email was that we should internally deny any
ECF where we could conclusively determine for-profit status, regardless
of which box was checked on the ECF. In addition, through subsequent
discussionswith Ian, it was also our understandingthat if we were
unable to determine eligibility,the onus of provingan organization's
eligibility is on the borrower and employer to provide the necessary
information. Due to questionssurroundingthe escalation process,we
internally created a 'Standardized Review Process'. We vetted the
document through FSA. We are currently following the process outlined
in this document, with some modifications. Since the date this
documentwas created, we found additionalresourceswe use to further
determine qualifying status. We attached the most recent version we
have on file (from April 2012).
Also, I understand Diane had a brief discussion with Ian this morning
about the ABA and AILA. As we recall, we first escalated the AILA in
May 2014 when we received an ECF for the organization. In June 2014
Ian replied that he agreed with our assessment that the organization did
not qualify. Subsequently in December 2014, Ian sent us the letter
from Jeff Baker to Ms.~ advising her that the Department was
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
retracting its previous assessment of the AILA's eligibility. That was the
first indication we had that the Department had determined the AILA
was eligible.
I think Diane said Ian also had some questions about the ABA timeline.
I had sent him an email on 4/8/2016 with a summary of what transpired
with the ABA. I can resend if needed.

Hi Kim,
Thanks again to you and the rest of the team at FedLoan for meeting with FSA
to discuss the Employer Escalation process Attached are meeting minutes, a
2012 email from Ian to FedLoan regarding the employer escalation process,
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
and a version of the ECFProcessing Protocol from Dec. 2011 that we were able
to locate in our archives For the email - could you tell us if FedLoan
interpreted the email guidance to mean that Compliance didn't need to
escalate PSLFdeterminations that were for-profit {only), or if Compliance didn't
need to escalate any organizations to FSAif they were confident in their
decision? For the protocol - could FedLoan confirm if this document was
provided to the business unit to use as a rubric for reviewing employer
escalations?
After the meeting, we also realized that there were a few outstanding
questions that we still need clarification on If you could provide responses as
soon as possible to the two questions (below) it would be much appreciated
Please let me know if there are any questions regarding this email or edits to
the meeting minutes.

Meeting Overview:
General Discussion:
1. Fed Loan Servicing provided clarification on the Business Unit's process of reviewing employers
for PSLFeligibility and the circumstances that warrant an escalation to the Compliance Unit.
From Fedloan:
• The Business Unit (BU) will review all new ECFemployers for PSLFeligibility to determine
501(c)(3) or governmental status. These statuses are generally determined by the BU
visiting the Master Business File, IRSService Check, identifying the email address or
website as governmental, or conducting an EIN Search.
• The Business Unit will approve previously reviewed (and approved) escalations for
employers where the Compliance Unit had to make the determination of eligibility if the
approval occurred within 1 year time frame
The Business Unit will escalate an employer to the Compliance Unit in all instances where:
The Compliance Unit will escalate employers to FSAin certain instances where:

Hi Tankea! Again, I apologize for the delay. I wanted to ensure I provided you with accurate details.
Overall it appears the Business Unit retracted a total of 320 employers, with a breakdown as follows: 4 in
2012, 37 in 2013, 123 in 2014, 64 in 2015 and 92 in 2016. These numbers also include the employers
that you are aware of. I know the Business Unit performed some clean-ups (specifically in 2014 and
2016) to identify any employers who might have been approved in error.
Based on internal reviews (those outside of the employers we escalated to FSA), the breakdown of
retractions is as follows: 243 were deemed for-profit and 49 were deemed not-for-profit but not providing
a qualifying public service. There were some other miscellaneous retractions (e.g. we retracted the
approval to request additional clarifying information due to conflicting information received via a later
ECF, the borrower was determined to be a volunteer, etc). Just to note, some of the retractions were due
to the borrower providing inaccurate information on the initial ECF which wasn't identified until he/she
submitted a subsequent ECF with conflicting information.

Thanks,
Hi Tanekal Historically, if an employer retraction is because of changing guidance. etc, we will escalate
those to you before taking action. However, if we discover internally that an employer was approved in
error by a processor (e.g. employer was accidentally approved but it was always for-profit). we will take
care of those internally and not escalate. Based on your wording below, would you now expect these
situations to be routed to you first before we take action, even though we know the approval an obvious
error?
We can definitely forward the retraction letter to you before they are sent to the borrower. Just for our
knowledge, would you expect to have a quick turnaround in reviewing these letters so that we can get
them out to the borrower as soon as possible?
Thanks!

Hi Kim,
Thanks again for pulling information regarding the American Bar Association.
I believe this already occurs, but wanted to confirm if all retractions of qualifying employment
for PSLFare routed to FSAfor review? If not, we would like to request that in the rare instance
PHEAAbelieves we need to retract an approval FSAis notified through this mailbox so that we
may review the circumstances of the retraction.
Moving forward, we would also like to review a copy of the retraction letter(s) before they are
sent to the borrower regarding their qualifying employment.
On this end, we are in the early stages of discussing ways that FSAcan improve StudentAid.gov
and other outlets to increase transparency regarding the PSLFprocess and eligiblity for non-
501(c)(3) employers providing qualifying public services. I'll make sure to provide PHEAAwith
an update as more information is available.
Kind Regards,
Taneka
Hi Taneka! You are correct in you assumption for the retraction tab. The processed date is the date it
was approved. Essentially it all occurs in one step (the ECF is processed as an approval).
With the retraction letters, we had previously advised that the Business Unit that they need to include
more detail. Previously it was very generic (it just basically stated that the employer was retracted, but
didn't give much explanation as to why). It has gotten better. but we can certainly work more with the
Business Unit to "beef" up the denial letters. Any suggestions you have would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Tanekal I was able to pull together the information you requested (no pressure for a mid-Friday) : )
I attached a spreadsheet which provides the borrowers whose ECFs were approved then retracted, as
well as the borrowers whose ECFs were denied outright. The spreadsheet has two tabs with each cohort
of borrower.
For the borrower whose approval was retracted after 45 months, I included the letters we have on record.
There is one system generated denial letter, one system generated approval letter, and the manual
retraction letter. Just a head's up on the system generated denial letter. His ECF was originally not
complete, so the denial is for missing information. He returned another, complete, ECF which is the one
that was approved.
If there is anything else you need, please do not hesitate to ask. Password to follow. Thanks I

Hi Kim,
Would you be able to provide detailed information on the borrowers whose qualifying
employment was was outright denied for the American Bar Association as well as the
borrowers who were originally approved and received retractions to date.
If possible, we need a secure file listing the borrowers names, SSN, Employer EIN, the date
the ECFwas received, Processed, Approved, Denied, Retracted ,and Notes (if applicable).
Additionally, we would also like to see a few approval, denial and retraction letters for the
borrower who had their approval denied after 45 months.

Can we get a copy of one of the retraction letters (redacted) and also confirm that the
organization claimed to be a non-501(c)(3) not-for-profit that was claiming to provide public
interest legal services. I realize that some may have come in as being from the 501(c)(3), even
if it were ultimately determined that the borrower didn't work there. So I'm asking about the
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
Hi Ian!
Based on the query the Business Unit performed, there were 9 borrowers who were denied outright and a
total of 19 that received retraction letters. Of the 19 who received retractions letter, 14 were picked up in
this most recent query the Business Unit ran.
The longest timeframe from the date the borrower was originally approved to the date retracted was 45
months. However, one thing to note for that particular borrower, the Business Unit only retracted about
10 months of employment (from 8/2011 to 5/2012).

Hi Ian! Outside of the employers Taneka listed below I don't believe we had forwarded any other "Bar" or
"Bar Associations" for review. Although we didn't escalate the employer, I know you also initially made a
determination on the American Immigration Lawyers Association (which Jeff Baker also drafted a letter to
the borrower that Taneka shared with us).
I know in the beginning we were struggling with associations in general and specifically organizations that
would qualify under the "public interest legal services" category. At one point, I know we had talked
through it over the phone, which gave us a clearer understanding of this category. Once we grasped
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
what organization would/would not qualify under this category, we internally made the decisions and only
escalated to you the ones we were on the fence about.
In regards to the American Bar Association, we made the decision internally that they do not qualify and
provided this guidance to the Business Unit. As we received ECFs from borrowers employed by the
American Bar Association, we were denying.
I know in some instances there were borrowers who were certified as working in a qualifying arm of the
American Bar Association (e.g. American Bar Association Fund for Justice and Education under the EIN
36-6110299). If we had a reason to question it, we would request the borrower's W-2 to confirm who
actually paid the borrower. In most instances, the borrower turned out to be employed by the American
Bar Association directly under the EIN 36-0723150. In light of your decision on ACLU, we now have
reason to question this further.
We were recently escalated an account for the American Bar Association where the previous approval
had not been retracted. As a result, the Business Unit ran a query to identify and clean up those
borrowers who may have been approved under the American Bar Association in the past who should not
have been. This is most likely where the retraction of the previous approval came from.
Thanks I

Can you summarize for me what we've done regarding PSLF and the American Bar Association;, We just got a letter
saying we approved them and then retracted it several years later. I'm not finding record that I worked on it

What happened
Product:
Student loan: Federal student loan
Issue:
Dealing with my lender or servicer: Received bad information about my loan
Describe what happened:
Please note that this case is affiliated with [Case number: 160826-001442]. I am submitting
this complaint due to my experience with Fedloan Servicing concerning the PSLF program. In
2012, my colleague contacted the Department of Education inquiring as to whether her 50l(c)
(6) employer, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), was a qualifying
organization for purposes of PSLF. The Department of Education affirmed that the
organization was a qualifying organization under PSLF. When I submitted my PSLF
certification to Fedloan Servicing in March of 2014, I was denied by Fedloan Servicing
without explanation. The letter stated, "Organization does not qualify." Fedloan Servicing
subsequently revoked my colleague's PSLF eligibility claiming that our 50l(c)(6) organization
was not a "qualifying organization" for purposes of PSLF. I requested supervisory review of
my personal application but the only information that I received back from Fedloan Servicing
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
is that "organization does not qualify." Additionally, one ofFedloan Servicing employees told
me that she was unaware of any 50l(c)(6) organizations that were approved as "qualifying
organizations" under 34 CFR Section 685.2 t 9(b) for purposes of PSLF. This is denial is
contrary to the regulations because my 501(c)(6) organization clearly provides public
education and meets the requirements of a "public service organization" as defined by the
regulations. The Department states in the proposed rule (pg. 37705,
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2008-07-0 l/pdf/E8-14140.pdf), that the statutory definition
of "public service job" is meant to include "certain non-profit organizations that are not
qualified under 50l(c)(3) of the IRC, but that meet the other statutory requirements and
qualify as public service employers under HEA." Congress clearly defined "public service job
definition" in the HEA (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLA W-11 0pub1315/html/PLA W-
1topubl315.htm) to include both "public education" and "public interest law services."

Dear Ms.~
In 2012, you corresponded with Ms. Maureen Dowling in the U.S. Department of Education's
{the Department's) Office of Innovation and Improvement concerning the status of your
employer, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), as a qualifying employer for
purposes of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program.
Under the PSLF Program, borrowers of federal student loans made under the William D. Ford
Federal Direct Loan Program (the Direct Loan Program) may qualify for forgiveness of their
remaining loan balance after they have made 120 qualifying payments while employed full-time
by an eligible public service organization. Under section 455(m) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended [20 USC 1087e(m)], and the implementing PSLF Program regulations at 34
CFR 685.219(b), an eligible public service organization is a government entity, a public child or
family service agency, an entity that is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC), a tribal college or university, or a private not-for-profit organization that
provides certain types of public services as listed in paragraph {5)(i) of the definition of "public
service organization" in 34 CFR 685.219(b).
Ms. Dowling referred your question to staff at the Department's Federal Student Aid office and
Office of Postsecondary Education, both of which are responsible for the management and
oversight of the PSLF Program. Our preliminary review of your employer's status in 2012
suggested that AILA was a not-for-profit organization that provided public interest law services.
This would make AILA a qualifying employer for purposes of the PLSF Program. We relayed
this information to you through Ms. Dowling.
Earlier this year, another employee of AILA submitted an Employment Certification for Public
Service Loan Forgiveness form to FedLoan Servicing, the Department's designated federal
student loan servicer for borrowers who are seeking a determination of whether their
employment and payments qualify for the PSLF Program. Upon receipt of an Employment
Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form, FedLoan Servicing is responsible for
officially determining whether the employer listed by a borrower on the form is a qualifying
employer tor purposes of the PSLF Program. In instances where FedLoan Serving cannot
clearly determine whether an employer qualifies, at least one Department of Education manager
performs an additional review and, if necessary, consults with the Department's Office of
General Counsel, before a final determination of the employer's status is made and
communicated to the borrower. This was the process used following receipt of the AILA
employee's submission of the Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness
form to FedLoan Serving. Through this more thorough review process, we determined that
AILA is not a qualifying employer for purposes of the PSLF Program, for the reasons explained
below.
We determined that AILA is a private not-for-profit organization that is tax-exempt under section
501 (c)(6) of the IRC. Because AILA is not a tax-exempt entity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, it can only qualify as an eligible employer for purposes of the PSLF
Program if it provides one of the public services listed in paragraph (5)(i) of the regulatory
definition of "public service organization." Qualifying types of public service that we considered
included public education and public interest law.
1
830 F•''ol Stre-~t. N[ Nasl11·-,g 1 ,::11 DC: ;202c;,~
The Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form that Fed Loan Servicing
received from the AILA employee indicated that AILA provides "public education services". Our
research shows that AILA is a professional bar association primarily engaged in advocacy and
providing news and commentary on immigration issues to its members, and to the public in
general. For PSLF purposes, the Department considers "public education services" to be
services that provide educational enrichment or support directly to students or their families in a
school or a schooHike setting. Because AILA's educational activities are directed primarily to its
members and to the public in general, not to students or families, and are not provided in a
school or school-like setting, AILA does not provide public education for the purposes of the
PSLF Program.
We also reconsidered whether AILA provides public interest law services. For purposes of the
PSLF Program, "public interest law" is defined in 34 CFR 685.219(b) as "legal services
provided by a public service organization that are funded in whole or in part by a local, State,
Federal, or Tribal government." After further review, we determined that employees of AILA do
not provide public interest law services. Rather, such services are provided by AILA's member
attorneys. AILA's "find a lawyer" site at www.ailalawyer.com specifically states that AILA and
ailalawyer.com offer "no legal advice, recommendations, mediation, or counseling under any
circumstance," but merely assist individuals in finding an attorney.
Based on our more thorough review of AILA's status, and notwithstanding the informal
information we provided in 2012, we have determined that AILA is not a qualifying employer for
PSLF purposes. We regret any confusion that may have been caused by our earlier opinion,
but we must comply with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements for the PSLF
Program.
If you have further questions concerning our determination of AJLA's status or the PSLF
Program, please contact Ian Foss of my staff, at ian.foss@ed.gov or 202-377-3681.

1 request that the Public Service Loan Forgiveness servicer, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department),
accept this EmploymentCertification from the public service organization at which I am/was employed for purposes of qualifying
me for the Public Service Loan ForgivenessProgram. If I submit this form before I am eligible to apply for forgiveness,I request
that the PSLF servicer retain this certification form until I submit the Application for Public Service loan Forgiveness.
I authorize my employer(s) or other entities having records about the employment that is part of the basis for my request for
forgiveness to make information from those records available to the Department. including the Public Service Lo.an Forgiveness
servicer. I also authorize the Department and its respective agents and contractors, to contact me regarding this Employment
Certification, at the current or any future number that 1 provide for my cellular telephone or other wireless device using automated
telephone dialing equipment or artificial or prerecorded voice or text messages.
I understand that:
(1) I may only qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness after I have made 120 separate, on-time, qualifying monthly payments
on an eligible Direct Loan, after October 1, 2007, while employed full-time by a public service organization(s), or serving in a
full-time AmeriCorps or Peace Corps position, in accordance with the definitions in Section 5. These 120 payments do not
have to be consecutive;
(2) I must be employed full-time by a public service organization(s) or serving in a full-time AmeriCorps or Peace Corps position at
the time I apply for loan forgiveness and at the time the forgiveness is granted. I may be employed part-time concurrently by
more than one eligible public service organization and meet the full-time requirement:
(3) Only the remaining balance of my loan(s) after I have made the 120 separate, on-time, qualifying monthly payments and met
all other eligibility requirements of the PSLF Program may be forgiven:
(4) I am not required to submit any Employment Certification(s) before applying for loan forgiveness, but if I do, the PSLF servicer
will review each Employment Certification I submit to ensure that it is complete, will verify that my employer qualifies as a
public service organization, and that the lo.an payments I made during the period covered by the Employment Certification(s)
are qualifying payments, Following this review, the PSLF servicer will notify me in writing or electronically of the number of
qualifying payments I have made while employed in qualifying public service and the remaining number! must make before I
am eligible to apply for PSLF. I will also be notified in writing or electronically if the PSLF servicer determines that the form(s) I

determination(s), along with the steps I would need to take to complete this form, correct this information, and submit the
corrected or additional information to the PSLF servicer; and
(5) The Department will only determine whether I have fulfilled all of the requirements to be eligible for PSLF after I have made all

Dear Ms.fbl(5l
~--~
This letter is a formal response to your inqmry received through the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) concerning your student loan account, \Vhich \Ve service for you on
behalf of the U.S. Department of Education (the Department), Federal Student Aid (FSA).
Your concern regarding your account, as we understand it, is to appeal the denial of your
employer, American Immigrant Lawyers Association (AILA), as a qualifying employer for the
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program.
According to our records, on or about December 10, 2014, the Department determined that
AILA was no longer being considered a qualifying employer for PSLF. The Department, through
FSA, determined that your employer is ineligible due to their status as a Section 50l(c)(6) and
not an entity under Section 501(c)(3) if the Internal Revenue Service Code. There is no record of
FedLoan Servicing ever making a detennination on this account, nor did they ever service loans
for this borrower. While we regret the results of this determination, FedLoan Servicing is
limited in its ability to further assist you with this issue as the results of this detem1ination by the
Department are final.
Since the Department's detem1ination is final, any additional appeals or questions should be
directed to them at the contact information provided in their letter. If you have further questions
regarding this particular concern, please contact the Department directly at the address listed
below. As a servicer of Title IV loans, FedLoan Servicing is a designated servicer of loans
O\Vned by the Department and because they have previously denied your request, any appeal
must be sent directly to the Department.

If you have additional questions or concerns regarding this letter, please feel free to contact our
office at 1-800-699-2908. Loan counselors are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m.

Dear M~bJ(6J
In 2012, you corresponded wi1hMs. Maureen Dowling in the U.S. Departmentof Education's
{lhe Department's)Office of Innovationand Improvementconcerning the status of your
employer, the American ImmigrationLawyersAssociation (AILA), as a qualifying smployer for
purposes of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness(PSLF) Program.
Under the PSLF Program,borrowers of federal student loans made under the William 0. Ford
Federal Direct Loan Program (the Direct Loan Program)may qualify for forgivenessof their
remaining loan balance after they have made 120 qualifying paymentswhile employed full-time
by an eligible public service organization.Under section 455(m) of the Higher EducationAct of
1965, as amended [20 USC 10B7e(m)],and the implementing PSLF Prngram regulationsat 34
CFR 685.219(b), an eligible public service organizationis a government entity, a public child or
family service agency, an entity 1hatis tax-exempl under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC), a tribal college or university,or a private not-for-profitorganizationthat
provides certain types of public servicesas listed in paragraph (5)(i) of the definitionof "public
service organization''in 34 CFR 685.279(b).
Ms. Dowling referred your question to slaff at the Department'sFederal Student Aid office and
OHiceof PostsecondaryEducation,both of which ate responsible for the managementand
oversight oi the PSLF Program. Our preliminaryreview of your employer's status in 2012
suggested that AILA was a not-for-profitotganization that provided public Interest law services
This wouldmakeAILA a qualifyingemployerfor purposesof the PLSF Program.We relayed
this information to you 1hroughMs. Dowling.
Earlier this year. another employee of AILA submittedan Employment Certificetionfor Public
Service Loan Forgivenessfotm to FedLoanServicing, the Departrnent'sdesignated federal
Sludent loan servicer for borrowers who are seeking a determination of whether their
employmen1and payments qualify for the PSLF Program. Upon receipt of an Employment
Certification tor Public $e1ViceLoan Forgivenessform, FedLoan Servicing is responsiblefor
officially determining whether the employer listed by a borrower on the form is a qualifying
employer tor purposes of the PSLF Program. In instances where FedLoan Ssrving cannot
dearly determine whether an employerqualifies, at least one Deparlment of Education manager
performs an additional review and, if necessary,consul1swith the Department'sOffice of
General Counsel, before a final determinationof the employer's status is made and
communicated to lhe borrower. This was the process used fallowing receipt of the AILA
employee's submission of the Employment Certificarionfor Public Servir.:eLoan Forgiveness
form to Fedloan Serving. Through tills mare thorough review process1 we deterrr1inedthat
Al LA is not a qualifying employerfor purposesof the PSLF Program, lor lhe reasons explained
below.
~ludc-nt.A,rj g.~J
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
We also reconsidered whether AILA providespublic interest law services. For purposesof the
PSLF Program, "public ln1erestlaw" is delined in 34 CFR 685.2191b)as "legal services
provided by a public service organizationthat are funded in whole or in part by a local, Slate,
Federal, or Tribal government" After further review,we determ:nedthat employeesof AILA do
not provide public interest law services. Rather, such services are provided by AILA's member
attorneys.AIL.A's"find a lawyer" site at www,,aj]alfill'i_er.com
specificallystates that AILA and
ailalawyer.com offer "no legal advice, recommendations,mediation. or counseling under any
circumstance,"but merely assist individualsin linding an attorney.

Dear Ms.~
In 2012, you corresponded with Ms. Maureen Dowling in the U.S. Department of Education's
{the Department's) Office of Innovation and Improvement concerning the status of your
employer, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), as a qualifying employer for
purposes of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program.
Under the PSLF Program, borrowers of federal student loans made under the William D. Ford
Federal Direct Loan Program (the Direct Loan Program) may qualify for forgiveness of their
remaining loan balance after they have made 120 qualifying payments while employed full-time
by an eligible public service organization. Under section 455(m) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended [20 USC 1087e(m)], and the implementing PSLF Program regulations at 34
CFR 685.219(b), an eligible public service organization is a government entity, a public child or
family service agency, an entity that is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC), a tribal college or university, or a private not-for-profit organization that
provides certain types of public services as listed in paragraph {5)(i) of the definition of "public
service organization" in 34 CFR 685.219(b).
Ms. Dowling referred your question to staff at the Department's Federal Student Aid office and
Office of Postsecondary Education, both of which are responsible for the management and
oversight of the PSLF Program. Our preliminary review of your employer's status in 2012
suggested that AILA was a not-for-profit organization that provided public interest law services.
This would make AILA a qualifying employer for purposes of the PLSF Program. We relayed
this information to you through Ms. Dowling.
Earlier this year, another employee of AILA submitted an Employment Certification for Public
Service Loan Forgiveness form to FedLoan Servicing, the Department's designated federal
student loan servicer for borrowers who are seeking a determination of whether their
employment and payments qualify for the PSLF Program. Upon receipt of an Employment
Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form, FedLoan Servicing is responsible for
officially determining whether the employer listed by a borrower on the form is a qualifying
employer tor purposes of the PSLF Program. In instances where FedLoan Serving cannot
clearly determine whether an employer qualifies, at least one Department of Education manager
performs an additional review and, if necessary, consults with the Department's Office of
General Counsel, before a final determination of the employer's status is made and
communicated to the borrower. This was the process used following receipt of the AILA
employee's submission of the Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness
form to FedLoan Serving. Through this more thorough review process, we determined that
AILA is not a qualifying employer for purposes of the PSLF Program, for the reasons explained
below.
We determined that AILA is a private not-for-profit organization that is tax-exempt under section
501 (c)(6) of the IRC. Because AILA is not a tax-exempt entity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, it can only qualify as an eligible employer for purposes of the PSLF
Program if it provides one of the public services listed in paragraph (5)(i) of the regulatory
definition of "public service organization." Qualifying types of public service that we considered
included public education and public interest law.
1
830 F•''ol Stre-~t. N[ Nasl11·-,g 1 ,::11 DC: ;202c;,~
The Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form that Fed Loan Servicing
received from the AILA employee indicated that AILA provides "public education services". Our
research shows that AILA is a professional bar association primarily engaged in advocacy and
providing news and commentary on immigration issues to its members, and to the public in
general. For PSLF purposes, the Department considers "public education services" to be
services that provide educational enrichment or support directly to students or their families in a
school or a schooHike setting. Because AILA's educational activities are directed primarily to its
members and to the public in general, not to students or families, and are not provided in a
school or school-like setting, AILA does not provide public education for the purposes of the
PSLF Program.
We also reconsidered whether AILA provides public interest law services. For purposes of the
PSLF Program, "public interest law" is defined in 34 CFR 685.219(b) as "legal services
provided by a public service organization that are funded in whole or in part by a local, State,
Federal, or Tribal government." After further review, we determined that employees of AILA do
not provide public interest law services. Rather, such services are provided by AILA's member
attorneys. AILA's "find a lawyer" site at www.ailalawyer.com specifically states that AILA and
ailalawyer.com offer "no legal advice, recommendations, mediation, or counseling under any
circumstance," but merely assist individuals in finding an attorney.
Based on our more thorough review of AILA's status, and notwithstanding the informal
information we provided in 2012, we have determined that AILA is not a qualifying employer for
PSLF purposes. We regret any confusion that may have been caused by our earlier opinion,
but we must comply with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements for the PSLF
Program.
If you have further questions concerning our determination of AJLA's status or the PSLF
Program, please contact Ian Foss of my staff, at ian.foss@ed.gov or 202-377-3681.

Hi Ms. Dowling!
I hope you're well and getting to enjoy the summer! I'm writing to follow up on
this email string from forever ago, in the hopes you have some advice. I'm not
sure if you remember, but I had contacted you about whether my position as a
Liaison Associate at the American Immigration Lawyers Association would count
as qualifying employment for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. You
were very kind and forwarded my email to your colleagues at the Department of
Education who work in that area.
My coworker has since applied to have my organization recognized as a
qualifying organization (since we spoke, there's been an application process
introduced by which you can officially apply to have your current employment
count towards the necessary 10 years of qualifying employment). Unfortunately,
the application came back and said our organization didn't qualify. She called
and asked for supervisory review, and I think they're looking into it. The
application didn't give a reason that our organization didn't qualify.
I'm wondering if you know whether there is any other way to have the request
reviewed? I think there is an Ombudsman for the program, so we will look into
that option, as well. I know this isn't the area you work in at the Department of
Education, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to reach out! Any suggestions you have
for how we can follow up on the application would be much appreciated. I've
attached a copy of her application and the denial, in the event that it's helpful.
Thanks so much! Hope to see you soon.
Best,

Hi l\faureen, In order to qualify for public service loan forgiveness, a borrower must,
among other requirements, be employed full-time by a public service organization.
The policy staff in FSA and OPE believe that the American Immigration La'\vyers
Association meets the definition of public service organization in 34 CFR 685.219(b)
of the regulations because it is a private organization that provides public services, it
is not a business organized for profit, nor is it engaged in partisan or religious
activities. As a full-time employee of an elib-'1.ble
public service organization, Ms.
l(b)(6l I service would be considered eligible as long as she meets the rest of the
eligibility requirements in 34 CFR 685.219(c). I am including a link to the regulations
should she have further questions about her eligibility.
http://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr ltext/34/685.219
I hope this is helpful.

*Procedural Ch:mge*
Due to recent !-<SAguidance we arc no longer using the procedure that the full in~tallmcnt must be received within 20 days
prior to the due date, and no later than 15 days after the due date. If a borrower presents evidence, or a review of the collateral
Jiles show that prior to being transfcncd to FLS, another servicer billed them and they made the payment during the billing
period. the payment will be considered on time and count for PSLF.
To qualify for PSLF, the full installment (on an eligible repayment plan) must be received within the billing period for
that month, and no later than 15 days after the due date.
When reviewing collateral files from other serv1cers, we sec that some of the other serviccrs bill borrowers on different
ranges of billing cycles. For example, we have reviewed collateral files from ACS that showed a borrower was billed 28 days
prior to the due date, and another ACS file shows another borrower was billed 25 days before the due date.
Example: The botTower was billed by Aspire 25 days prior to the due date. on 2/03/2013. and their due date is the 28th. As
long as their qualifying payment is received between 2/03/2013 and 3/15/2013 it will count for PSLI-<.
Here is an example of a botrnwer that was billed more than 20 days prior to the due date:
This borrower \Vas billed 28 days prior to the due date each month. As long as the following are met, the payments for each
month would count as long as they were received during the billing period, and no more than 15 days after the due date.
We arc in the process of updating the PSTRK procedures to reflect th1~infonnation. Let me know if you have questions.

Here is the PSLF Paid Ahead guidance we provided to you orally in the 04/11/12 FSA/Fedloan meeting:
A borrower who is either partially or fully paid head may have subsequent payments made during paid ahead
status qualify for PSLFif they are for the full amount due under the repayment schedule (and otherwise qualify).
For example, if the repayment schedule dictates a repayment amount of $50, but the borrower pays $60 during
month one, that payment counts so long as it otherwise qualified. For month two, the borrower is billed for $40,
but pays $60. The payment made for month two qualifies if it otherwise qualifies. For month three, the
borrower is billed for $30, and pays $30. The payment made for month three does not qualify because the
borrower did not pay what was due on the repayment schedule.
Here's another example. If the borrower's repayment schedule dictates a payment amount of $50, but the
borrower pays $150 for months one, the borrower's due date is advanced two months. The borrower is billed
$50 for month four and pays $50. The borrower gets credits for two months: month one and month four. If the
borrower had paid $50 during months two and three, the borrower also would have gotten credit for those
months (being paid ahead for two full months notwithstanding).

John,
Please note that there are three sections in the ECF procedures that are incorrect at
this point due to updated FSA guidance. However, the FSA guidance is being
followed, and the procedures will be updated shortly. (The same person that
processes the ECF's in Compliance is the same person that updates the procedures.
We have recently tasked a 2nd person with updating the procedures.) The sections
are Section 2.2 - FSA advised we should be approving Tribal casinos as long as they
are under the auspices of the Tribe (regardless of whether they are profit making or
not); and Section 2.5 & 2.7 - FSA advised a private not-for-profit (non-501 (c)(3))
organization should be evaluated based on their "primary purpose").
Thanks,

Summary
The purpose of this document is to provide general processes and resources for designated Compliance employees to
use when conducting Employment Certification Form reviews.
There may be instances where even after researching the employer you are still unsure if you can approve. In these
instances, these casesshould be reviewed with the Senior Compliance Coordinator/Compliance Manager.
Acronyms
BU Business Unit
Foundational Material
The Business Unit (BU) performs the initial review of all Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Employment
Certification Forms (ECFs) received by Fedloan Servicing (FLS). If the employer is private not-for-profit, a
charter school, the BU determines an employer does not qualify, or if the BU cannot determine whether the
employer qualifies, the ECF is escalated to Compliance. The BU must also escalate the ECFto Compliance if
Compliance previously approved the employer more than 12 months in the past.
Only employers that are escalated by the BU should be reviewed by Compliance. If the employer was
previously approved or denied within the past 12 months, it should be returned to the BU with a comment.
All reviews should be conducted based on the specific box checked on the ECF. However, when researching, it
may be determined that the employer actually falls under another category. All categories should be
reviewed for eligibility prior to denying the request.
All prior ECFsshould be reviewed to ensure no approval or denial errors were made previously. Also be aware
that several ECFsmay be in one image, so it is important to scroll through the entire imaged document to
locate the correct ECFthat requires review.
It is important to save any evidence found during research regarding the qualifying status of the employer.
See Appendix B for instructions on saving information to the appropriate folder.
3) Select PUB SERVICEORG UNDER REVIEW-COMPLIANCE tab to access escalated employers for
Compliance review
a) To view specific information about the employer, including representative comments, select
the VIEW DETAIL button.

xiii)Reviewer
xiv)lnconclusive Type (W2 needed, Paystubs needed, proof of not-for-profit status needed,
proof of qualifying public service needed, articles of incorporation needed, letter from
employer needed, other)
xvi)Denial Reason
c) To leave the record about an employer and to access another employer, select CANCEL
4) If not already added, add the escalated employers to the ECFREVIEWStab of the Compliance

1) From the Employer Database details screen, capture the borrower's SSN
NOTE: The oldest open employer entry with Compliance should be worked first.
5) Press Enter
6) Access the "FLS Servicing library" by selecting VIEW LIST (if multiple libraries appear)
7) Select the most recent PSECFtask, identified under the column "Action Request Code," by
selecting VIEW DOCUMENT
i;?;NOTE: If t~ere is not a PSECFtask, check other Action Request Codes (ARCs) since an ECFcan
be logged incorrectly.
a) Use the arrows at the bottom of File Net to page through the document until you get to the
page that contains the Employment Information section of the ECF
b) If the document you selected does not coincide with the escalated employer, close the
document and select the next most recent ECF
ii) Type the name of the employer or EIN in the FIND WHAT field
b) If employer was previously approved/denied within the last 12 months, return the ECFto the
BU Supervisor
a) If borrower is the certifying official, return the record to the BU to contact borrower to have
another individual authorize the form
2) Take note of the employer's name, EIN, address and which type of public service organization box
was selected. This information will be needed when researching employer.
U NOTE:Some employers provide the DOING BUSINESSAS (d/b/a) name, so further research,
such as checking employer's website, may be needed to determine official name
3) Review the ECFfor any additional pages or stray comments made by the employer or borrower
a) If any pertinent information (EIN, address, etc.) is missing from the ECF,review COMPASS5 M
(ITL2U, ITD2A),
ii) If BU did not obtain the missing information, return the record to the BU Supervisor
through the database to obtain the missing information

Section 2: Resources
Listed below are the resources that should be used to thoroughly research employer eligibility for PSLF.The resources
are organized by the options listed on the ECF.These resources, paired with training, assist in accurately identifying
which employers will be approved or denied.
Government organizations include Federal, state, local, or Tribal government organizations, agencies,
or entities; public child or family service agency; a Tribal college or university; or the Peace Corps or
AmeriCorps. This does not include a member of the U.S. Congress, as they are not eligible; however,
congressional staffers are eligible. Also, tribal casinos do not automatically qualify.
TIP: Search the employer by the EIN and by the name in case the employer/borrower made a
typo on their EIN. If the employer made a small mistake by switching two numbers, update
the EIN in the database and process accordingly.
o Review the employer's GuideStar record, if found, for language indicating the employer is
government. If so, the employer can be approved (Section 3.1).
■ Ex. This organization is not required to file an annual return with the IRS because it is an
arm of a state or local government.
* NOTE: Government Organizations will not typically have filed an IRS Form 990 1 . This is
one way to verify that an organization is in fact associated with the government.
• EMMA (Electronic Municipal Market Access): EMMA provides documents and data derived from a
number of sources.
o Use the "Quick Search" function in the upper right hand corner of the homepage to search the
name of the organization. Variations of the name may need to be tested if the organization
includes an abbreviation.
1 An IRS Form 990 is a Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax form. This form is used by tax-exempt

o Review the ISSUERNAME column for the employer in question. The employer can be approved
if they are listed as an issuer (Section 3.1).
~ TIP: You may need to try different variations of the employer name
C· If no results are displayed, the organization most likely does not issue bonds.
• Google EIN:
~ TIP: Format the Google search with the word "EIN" followed by the actual EIN using the
hyphen (Ex. EIN 12-3456789).
C· Review results to determine if the EIN is tied to the government. If results specifically show
that EIN is tied to a governmental agency, the organization can be approved (Section 3.1).
C· Results may show that the EIN is listed on another organization's Form 990. Review other
organization's Form 990 Schedules I and R to determine the type of entity listed for the
employer's EIN.
o If domain is not .gov or .mil, search state and/or local government websites. If listed on a
government website, determine if employer is actually part of the government, or the
*
government website is simply providing a list of entities, such as licensed day care providers.
NOTE: Being listed on a government website does not mean that the employer is a
government entity
• System for Award Management Website: An official website of the U.S. government that
combines federal procurement systems and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance into one
system.
o This website should be used to determine if a casino is regarded as a distinct entity from the
tribe itself.
o On the homepage of the website, select "Search Results" from the last column titled "Search
Records. Use the "Quick Search" function in the upper right hand corner of the homepage to
search the name of the organization. Variations of the name may need to be tested if the
organization includes an abbreviation.
o If the casino is a tribal 8{a) organization under the Small Business Administration's parlance 13
CFR 124.109(c)(2), the entity is not a qualifying employer for PSLF(Section 3.2).
o If no results are displayed, the organization is most likely not a tribal 8(a} organization.
• Google casino:
o Google the casino to determine if it is owned and operated by the tribe or if they have
sovereign immunity 2 . Also, look for their by-laws or constitution to make a determination for
qualification.
TIP: Search the employer by the EIN and by the name in case the employer/borrower made a
typo on their EIN. If the employer made a small mistake by switching two numbers, update
the EIN in the database and process accordingly.
o Review the Form 990 to determine the employer's filing status (Item I -Tax-exempt status)
C· If 501(c)(3), employer automatically qualifies but additional review is needed to determine if
agency actually employs paid employees or only accepts volunteers.
■ In Part I of the Form 990, if line 5 is "O" then the organization does not have employees.
Request a W-2 to determine who pays the borrower (Section 3.3).
C· If the Google search brings up a BrightScopc entry, the organization may be for-profit and
should be reviewed further.
C· Review any other pieces of information that result from the EIN search to determine if the
employer can be classified as 501{c)(3).
• IRS Exempt Organizations Select Check tool (former Publication 78): Exempt Organizations Select
Check is an on line search tool that allows users to search for and select an exempt organization
and check certain information about its federal tax status and filings.
o Search in the Exempt Organization Select Check Tool and select the radio button beside "Are
Eligible to Receive Tax-Deductible Charitable Contributions." If employer appears, review the
column titled Deductibility Status. The employer can be approved (Section 3.1) if "PC" is listed.
2 Tribal Nations are given sovereign immunity, which prohibits suit against a Tribe unless it has waived its immunity, has
consented to be sued, or Congress has expressly retracted the immunity.
o If any other status is listed, they are not-for-profit, but must be reviewed to determine if the
employer performs a qualifying public service (Section 2.5).
o If the employer does not appear, return to the Exempt Organization Select Check Tool and
select the corresponding radio buttons to search if the employer was automatically revoked or
filed a Form 990-N (e-postcard). If the employer appears under the search for being
automatically revoked, review the date listed in the Revocation Date column. Any certified
employment prior to this date can be approved (Section 3.1}.
• IRS Business Master File (BMF}: The Exempt Organization Business Master File Extract {EO BMF)
includes cumulative information on exempt organizations. The data are extracted monthly and are
available by state and region.
C· Search by selecting the state where the employer's corporate office is located. Review the
Subsection Code (Column I) in the spreadsheet that coincides with the employer. The
employer can be approved if Subsection Code (Column I) is 3 (Section 3.1).
o The employer should be reviewed as private not-for-profit (Section 2.4) if the subsection code
(Column I) is something other than 3 and the entity is NOT a religious entity. If subsection code
(Column I) is something other than 3 and the entity IS clearly a religious entity, the employer
*
may be approved.
o Use the Company Filings Search to search for the employer under Company Name. If the
organization is found, the company is a for-profit business and should be denied {Section 3.2).
• State Corporation Bureau or Secretary of State website (for the state of the employer): A compiled
list of links for legal professionals and others who are looking for quick access to the corporate
information available in on line searchable databases maintained by the Secretary of State for any
given state.
C· Search for the state in which the corporate office is located. If search provides corporation
status (not-for-profit, for-profit, etc.) and employer is listed as not-for-profit, the organization
should be reviewed for qualifying public service in Section 2.5. Any employer listed as for-
profit should be denied (Section 3.2).
• If the business filing indicates that organization owns stock, this is typically an indication
that the organization is for-profit and should be further reviewed.
• Skilled Nursing Facility Directory (nursing homes): This nursing home directory contains over
*
15,600 skilled nursing facilities in the United States.
NOTE: This resource should be used as a last resort if no conclusive information can be
found.
o Perform a search using the zip code and select the appropriate nursing home to review the
Ownership Type. If the Ownership Type is eligible, the organization can be approved (Section
lil
o See Section 2.7 for more information related to determining if Private Not-For-Profit health
institutions qualify as performing a public service.
o Public health: Includes nurses, nurse practitioners, nurses in a clinical setting, and full-time
professionals engaged in health care practitioner occupations and health care support
occupations, such as those defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
C· Public education: Includes services that provide educational enrichment or support directly to
students or their families in a school or school-like setting
C· Public library services
o School library services
C· Other school-based services
~·'-7 NOTE: Some not-for-profit employers may seem like they should qualify; however, FSA
M
determined that they do not qualify .. These employers include: credit unions, social
workers, and most associations.
• State Corporation Bureau or Secretary of State website (for the state of the employer): A compiled
list of links for legal professionals and others who are looking for quick access to the corporate
information available in on line searchable databases maintained by the Secretary of State for any
given state.
o Review the Articles of Incorporation, if available, under the agency's business filing to
determine which type of public service the organization provides.
NOTE: Charter schools in Hawaii and Massachusetts are automatically classified as government
and will not be managed by another entity. Charter schools in these states can be
automatically approved as government.
• Review charter school's website: Charter schools can be run by a managing entity, which can be
for-profit, depending on the state in which the charter school is established. In particular, the
employees of charter schools managed by the Leona Group are actually employed/paid by the
Leona Group, which is a for-profit entity.
C· If the website research shows that the charter school is managed by another entity, return the
record to request more information from the BU {Section 3.3).
C· If the charter school is not managed by another entity, process the ECFbased on the EIN
provided on the form.
C· If the EIN belongs to another entity, review the eligibility of the entity that holds the ElN. If the
entity that holds the EIN is solely a payroll processing company (ex. ADP, PEO), the charter
school itself should be reviewed for eligibility and not the payroll processing company.
o If the entity that holds the ElN is not related to the charter school, return the record to the BU
supervisor to request the borrower's W-2 or a copy of the borrower's paystub (Section 3.3).
• Take note if the EIN provided on the form belongs to the charter school itself or to another entity,
as this may signify they are managed by another organization.
NOTE:You may not be able to determine if certain organizations perform a qualifying public
service (e.g., organizations for certain groups of individuals). In these instances you must
review the employer to see if they employ individuals that meet the criteria for certain
Standard Occupation Classification (SOC) codes.
• The 2010 Standard Occupational classification System (Bureau of Labor Statistics): The 2010
Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)system is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify
workers into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or disseminating
data.
o Review the job categories under "29-0000 Healthcare Practitioners and Technical
Occupations" and "31-0000 Healthcare Support Occupations." If any open position at the
organization is performing the service of a job category found under 29-0000 or 31-0000, the
employer qualifies and can be approved {Section 3.1).
TIP: If you are unsure if an open position meets the criteria for a job category in the
SOC, review the particular state's definition for the job in question (e.g., nursing) in
conjunction with the job posting to determine if the employer qualifies. The state's
definitions can be found by searching the state's statutes.
• If any of the following scenarios are encountered, return the record to the BU supervisor, outline
the reason the record is returned, and/or request the borrower's W-2 or a copy of the borrower's
paystub (Section 3.3).
o EIN that does not coincide with an EIN identified for the employer through research.
*
NOTE: If the employer/borrower made a small mistake by switching two numbers,
update the EIN in the database and process accordingly.
C· EIN that was identified as belonging to another organization and no relationship between the
organizations can be identified.
o Any other issue that requires more clarification before you can conclusively approve or deny
(e.g., you need to determine where the BU obtained the EIN, there is a notation on a cover
letter that contradicts what is on the ECF,etc.).

Question: the document you attached seems to cover only one component of the
review process associated with non-50 I (c)(3) not-for-profit organizations;
namely, how you determine whether the organization is a not-for-profit. It
doesn't seem to discuss the qualifying service component of the review. Can
you clarify? A literal reading of the document would lead someone to believe
that you would approve any non-50l(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Since we
get emails from you about whether organizations provide qualifying public
services, we know you are looking for it. However, is that documented
anywhere?
The initial PSLF CR, which incorporated the 20 l l ECF processing guide
by reference. This guide required you to escalate all non-50l(c)(3) non-profits
to us unless.
Also, I'm still not I 00% sure under what circumstances you escalate to FSA
Did you interpret my 2012 email to, for example, allow you to only escalate
organizations if you were not sure that they qualified, i.e., that there was no
need to escalate organizations if you were confident that they qualified?

Hi Taneka!
We recall both the discussion with Ian and receiving the ECF Processing
Protocol in December 2011, that was shared with the Business Unit to be used
when processing ECFs.
Our interpretation of lan's email was that we should internally deny any ECF
where we could conclusively determine for-profit status, regardless of which
box was checked on the ECF. ln addition, through subsequent discussions with
Ian, it was also our understanding that if we were unable to determine
eligibility, the onus of proving an organization's eligibility is on the boJTower
and employer to provide the necessary information. Due to questions
surrounding the escalation process, we internally created a 'Standardized
Review Process·. We vetted the document through FSA. We are currently
following the process outlined in this document, with some modifications.
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
Since the date this document was created, we found additional resources we use
to further determine qualifying status. We attached the most recent version we
have on file (from April 2012).
Also, I understand Diane had a brief discussion with Ian this morning about the
ABA and AILA. As we recall, we first escalated the AILA in May 2014 when
we received an ECF for the organization. In June 2014 Ian replied that he
agreed with our assessment that the organization did not qualify. Subsequently
in December 2014, Ian sent us the letter from Jeff Baker to Ms.~ advising
her that the Department was retracting its previous assessment of the AILA's
eligibility. That was the first indication we had that the Department had
determined the AILA was eligible.
I think Diane said Ian also had some questions about the ABA timeline. I had
sent him an email on 4/8/2016 with a summary of what transpired with the
ABA. I can resend if needed.
--- I hope to be able to provide you, by COB today, the information on the
50l(c)(4) organizations that you requested.
--- We currently have 2 staff who devote approximately 25 hours total a week
on ECF escalations. On average, we receive about 340 escalations per month.
Thanks!

Hi Kim,
Thanks again to you and the rest of the team at FedLoan for meeting with FSA
to discuss the Employer Escalation process. Attached are meeting minutes, a
2012 email from Ian to FedLoan regarding the employer escalation process, and
a version of the ECF Processing Protocol from Dec. 2011 that we were able to
locate in our archives. For the email - could you tell us if FedLoan interpreted
the email guidance to mean that Compliance didn't need to escalate PSLF
determinations that were for-profit (only), or if Compliance didn't need to
escalate any organizations to FSA if they were confident in their decision? For
the protocol - could FedLoan confirm if this document was provided to the
business unit to use as a rubric for reviewing employer escalations?
After the meeting, we also realized that there were a few outstanding questions
that we still need clarification on. If you could provide responses as soon as
possible to the two questions (below) it would be much appreciated.
Please let me know if there are any questions regarding this email or edits to the
meeting minutes.
Thanks,
Taneka

may stop escalating cases where the employer is clearly for-profit. lf it's

Hi Tankea! Again, I apologize for the delay. I wanted to ensure I provided you with
accurate details. Overall it appears the Business Unit retracted a total of 320
employers, with a breakdown as follows: 4 in 2012, 37 in 2013, 123 in 2014, 64 in
2015 and 92 in 2016. These numbers also include the employers that you are aware
of. I know the Business Unit performed some clean-ups (specifically in 2014 and
2016) to identify any employers who might have been approved in error.
Based on internal reviews (those outside of the employers we escalated to FSA), the
breakdown of retractions is as follows: 243 were deemed for-profit and 49 were
deemed not-for-profit but not providing a qualifying public service. There were some
other miscellaneous retractions (e.g. we retracted the approval to request additional
clarifyinginformationdue to conflictinginformationreceivedvia a later ECF, the
borrowerwas determinedto be a volunteer, etc). Just to note, some of the retractions
were due to the borrower providing inaccurate information on the initial ECF which
wasn't identified until he/she submitted a subsequent ECF with conflicting

Hi Kim,
I just wanted to follow-up to find out if you were able to find out the average number of
retractions that are issued by PHEAA.
Thanks,
Taneka
Hi Kim,
Do you have an idea of the average number of retractions that are issued by PHEAAon a
yearly basis? Additionally, would you know about how many of those retractions are for
employers who were non-profit that we determined did not provide a qualifying service and
those who PHEAAjust determined were for-profit?

Tentatively, I would say that we would like to be aware of all retractions, especially in the
instance where the retraction is going out years after the borrower's employment is
approved, and be able to review the letters before going out to borrowers. We'll wait to hear
about the volume that you anticipate we would need to review before making any decisions.
Thanks,
Taneka
We can definitely forward the retraction letter to you before they are sent to the
borrower. Just for our knowledge,would you expect to have a quick turnaroundin
reviewing these letters so that we can get them out to the borrower as soon as
possible?

Hi Kim,
Thanks again for pulling information regarding the American Bar Association.
I believe this already occurs, but wanted to confirm if all retractions of qualifying employment
for PSLFare routed to FSAfor review? If not, we would like to request that in the rare instance
PHEAAbelieves we need to retract an approval FSAis notified through this mailbox so that we
may review the circumstances of the retraction.
Moving forward, we would also like to review a copy of the retraction letter(s) before they are
sent to the borrower regarding their qualifying employment.
On this end, we are in the early stages of discussing ways that FSAcan improve StudentAid.gov
and other outlets to increase transparency regarding the PSLFprocess and eligiblity for non-
501(c)(3) employers providing qualifying public services. I'll make sure to provide PHEAAwith
an update as more information is available.

Hi Taneka! You are correct in you assumption for the retraction tab. The processed
date is the date it was approved. Essentially it all occurs in one step (the ECF is
processed as an approval).

With the retraction letters, we had previously advised that the Business Unit that they
need to include more detail. Previously it was very generic (it just basically stated
that the employer was retracted, but didn't give much explanation as to why). It has
gotten better, but we can certainly work more with the Business Unit to "beef" up the
denial letters. Any suggestions you have would also be appreciated.

Hi Kim,
Quick question for the retraction tab - Is the processed column date the date that the
borrower's ECFwas approved?
In regards to the retraction letter - I know we previously discussed PHEAA providing more
detail in the retraction letter and I recall the Business Unit making a few changes; however, I
think we may need to revisit the way the retraction letters are drafted to ensure that we are
being as transparent as possible to borrowers who are being informed that a previously
qualified employer is no longer eligible. I'm going through emails and noticed the retraction
letter is similar for borrowers employed with Students First so wanted to make sure that we
make every effort to make sure borrowers are informed.

Hi Taneka! I was able to pull together the information you requested (no pressure for
a mid-Friday) : )
I attached a spreadsheet which provides the borrowers whose ECFs were approved
then retracted, as well as the borrowers whose ECFs were denied outright. The
spreadsheet has two tabs with each cohort of borrower.
For the borrower whose approval was retracted after 45 months, I included the letters
we have on record. There is one system generated denial letter, one system
generated approval letter, and the manual retraction letter. Just a head's up on the
system generated denial letter. His ECF was originally not complete, so the denial is
for missing information. He returned another, complete, ECF which is the one that
was approved.
If there is anything else you need, please do not hesitate to ask. Password to follow.

Would you be able to provide detailed information on the borrowers whose qualifying
employment was was outright denied for the American Bar Association as well as the
borrowers who were originally approved and received retractions to date.
If possible, we need a secure file listing the borrowers names, SSN, Employer EIN, the date

Can we get a copy of one of the retraction letters (redacted) and also confirm that the
organization claimed to be a non-501(c)(3) not-for-profit that was claiming to provide public
interest legal services. I realize that some may have come in as being from the 501(c)(3), even
if it were ultimately determined that the borrower didn't work there. So I'm asking about the
ones that came in directly from the ABA.
Hi Ian!
The longest timeframe from the date the borrower was originally approved to the date
retracted was 45 months. However, one thing to note for that particular borrower, the
Business Unit only retracted about 10 months of employment (from 8/2011 to

Can you give me a sense of how many borrowers received a retraction regarding the ABA and
how many received outright denials? Also, for those retracted, how long after the approval did
the retraction go out {for the borrower for whom it was the longest)?
Hi Ian! Outside of the employers Taneka listed below I don't believe we had
forwarded any other "Bar" or "Bar Associations" for review. Although we didn't
escalate the employer, I know you also initially made a determination on the
American Immigration Lawyers Association (which Jeff Baker also drafted a letter to
the borrower that Taneka shared with us).

In regards to the American Bar Association, we made the decision internally that they
do not qualify and provided this guidance to the Business Unit. As we received ECFs
from borrowers employed by the American Bar Association, we were denying.
We were recently escalated an account for the American Bar Association where the
previous approval had not been retracted. As a result, the Business Unit ran a query
to identify and clean up those borrowers who may have been approved under the
American Bar Association in the past who should not have been. This is most likely
where the retractionof the previousapprovalcame from.

Good morning! Recently FSA has been asking for more detail in regards to
denials/retractions, etc. Based on the most recent query they requested, they now
want to review EVERYretraction that is performed (see below email from FSA).
Effective immediately, you should not retract any approvals without first escalating to
Compliance. This would also include instances where a processor approved an
employer in error without reviewing prior guidance (e.g. Compliance denied an
employer in the database and a future processor approved the employer in error
without reviewing the guidance). As a result, you should not be taking action by way
of clean-ups to reverse any previous approvals prior to escalating to us.
We clarified with FSA that the copy of the retraction letter would not be available
until after they provide the decision on the retraction and your team updates the
account.

Hi Ian, Thanks again for talking with Kim and me today. The discussion really
helped!
We looked at the Mission and Goals of the AILA and we don't think this employer
qualifies. They definitely don't qualify under the public service they listed (public
education). Upon further review, we also couldn't find any indication that the
employees of the Association provide qualifying public interest law services.

Gabe/Fred
At our forgiveness meeting with the business last week, we learned that there is a
special letter for retractions for ECFs - borrower status changes from approved to
denied for employer not qualified. For CR15601, we have the standard
approval/denial letter being generated anytime the status of an ECF changes. In
January, FSA mandated some specific information for the retraction letter that we
don't already have available in letter writer so at this point the BU will have to handle
the letter manually. We still need to make a change for CR15601 to suppress the
standard letter trigger for retractions.
I assume someone needs to log a PCN for this? I'm not sure who? Does it need to
go through estimation?
Please advise.

I don't believe we requested an automated letter for retraction. I believe we are
triggering the basic Approval/ Denial letters when the status changes. Since the

Effective immediately, you should not retract any approvals without first escalating to
Compliance. This would also include instances where a processor approved an
employer in error without reviewingprior guidance (e.g. Compliancedenied an
employer in the database and a future processor approved the employer in error
without reviewing the guidance). As a result, you should not be taking action by way
of clean-ups to reverse any previous approvals prior to escalating to us.
We clarified with FSA that the copy of the retraction letter would not be available
until after they provide the decision on the retraction and your team updates the
account.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Hi Kim,
Thanks again for pulling information regarding the American Bar Association.
Moving forward, we would also like to review a copy of the retraction letter(s)
before they are sent to the borrower regarding their qualifying employment.
On this end, we are in the early stages of discussing ways that FSAcan improve
StudentAid.gov and other outlets to increase transparency regarding the PSLF
process and eligiblity for non-501(c)(3) employers providing qualifying public
services. I'll make sure to provide PHEAAwith an update as more information is

Hi Taneka! You are correct in you assumption for the retraction tab.
The processed date is the date it was approved. Essentially it all occurs
in one step (the ECF is processed as an approval).
With the retraction letters, we had previously advised that the Business
Unit that they need to include more detail. Previously it was very
generic (it just basically stated that the employer was retracted, but
didn't give much explanation as to why). It has gotten better, but we can
certainly work more with the Business Unit to "beef" up the denial
letters. Any suggestions you have would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

Can we get a copy of one of the retraction letters (redacted) and also confirm
that the organization claimed to be a non-501(c)(3) not-for-profit that was
claiming to provide public interest legal services. I realize that some may have
come in as being from the 501(c)(3}, even if it were ultimately determined that
the borrower didn't work there. So I'm asking about the ones that came in
directly from the ABA.
Hi Ian!
The longest timeframe from the date the borrower was originally
approved to the date retracted was 45 months. However, one thing to
note for that particular borrower, the Business Unit only retracted about
1O months of employment (from 8/2011 to 5/2012).

provide public interest legal services; rather, such services are provided by the AILA's

Issue:
Dealing with my lender or servicer: Received bad information about my loan
Describe what happened:
Please note that this case is affiliated with [Case number: 160826-001442]. I am submitting this
complaint due to my experience with Fedloan Servicing concerning the PSLF program. In 2012.
my colleague contacted the Department of Education inquiring as to whether her 50 I (c)(6)
employer. the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). was a qualifying
organization for purposes of PSLF. The Department of Education affirmed that the organization
was a qualifying organization under PSLF. When I submitted my PSLF certification to Fedloan
Servicing in March of 2014, I was denied by Fed loan Servicing without explanation. The letter
stated, "Organization does not qualify." Fedloan Servicing subsequently revoked my colleague's
PSLF eligibility claiming that our 50l(c)(6) organization was not a "qualifying organization" for
purposes of PSLF. I requested supervisory review of my personal application but the only
information that I received back from Fedloan Servicing is that "organization does not qualify."
Additionally. one of Fedloan Servicing employees told me that she was unaware of any 50 I (c)(6)
organizations that were approved as "qualifying organizations" under 34 CFR Section 685.2 l 9(b)
for purposes of PSLF. This is denial is contrary to the regulations because my 501(c)(6)
organization clearly provides public education and meets the requirements of a "public service
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
organization" as defined by the regulations. The Department states in the proposed rule (pg.
37705, http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2008-07-0 l/pdf/E8-14140.pdf), that the statutory
definition of "public service job" is meant to include "certain non-profit organizations that are not
qualified under 50 l (c )(3) of the IRC, but that meet the other statutory requirements and qualify
as public service employers under HEA." Congress clearly defined "public service job definition"
in the HEA (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLA W-l 10publ315/html/PLA W-11 0publ315.htm)
to include both "public education" and "public interest law services."

This employer, American Immigration Lawyers Association and specifically this borrower~ l(b)(6l I

escalated the employer to FSA. In June 2014, FSA made a decision that while this employer is not-for-

There was another borrower, Ms.~( I'm not sure if she has loans with us or ever submitted an

letter, dated December 10, 2014, for your reference. This letter specifically details the Department's

Mikell, Because this is a complaint regarding our determination whether this borrower's employer is a public
service organization, we should not refer her back to her current loan servicer. For the same reason, we
won't be able to say it's simply a policy issue -- even though her concern does ultimately center on the regs --
at least not until we've explained the regulations which apply in greater detail than we already have.
As for those details, allow me to defer this to Kim, at least initiallv. I exoect either she or Diane will have had

I have something of an odd situation here. This borrower submitted a CFPBcomplaint against us,
however their loans are not actually with us, they're with Nelnet. The borrower was responded to
advising of this, and providing Nelnet's contact information, however, she followed up with separately
with the email I have copied below.
As this is a policy issue regarding the qualifications for what employers are considered eligible for the
borrower to participate in the PSLFprogram, and because we do not have an account, nor service and
loans, tor this borrower, how would you suggest we proceed with her request? Is this something you
can forward to FSA for us through channels familiar to you? And if we aren't going to do that, and
need to direct the borrower elsewhere, what should we tell her? Any guidance you can provide would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and have reviewed your concern.
However we have unfortunately been unable to locate an account for you in our system

The ABA sued (PDF) the DOE on Dec. 20, after the PSLF program began
disqualifying ABA employees and other public interest lawyers who had
previously been approved for participation in the program.
But in its answer (PDF) filed March 23, the DOE appears to argue that it did
not change the terms of the PSLF program, because approvals issued by its loan
servicer were tentative. Therefore, it says, there were never any approvals.
The PSLF program, authorized by federal law in 2007, permits certain people
who work in nonprofit and public service jobs to have their student loans
forgiven. Participants must work at a 50l(c)(3) nonprofit or provide certain
services to qualify, including ''public education." After 10 years in those jobs
and 120 on-time payments on their student loans. participants can have the
balance of their loans forgiven. The first loan forgiveness could be as early as
October of this year.

Name plaintiff Geoffrey Burkha11, who at the relevant time worked for the
ABA's Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants, alleged in
the lawsuit that he'd received confirmation in 2014 that his ECF was accepted.
Before taking the job, in fact, he confirmed eligibility with both the ABA and
the loan servicer, FedLoan Servicing. FedLoan Servicing later sent him a letter
accepting his ECF, which was attached to the lawsuit as an exhibit.
But more than two years later, the complaint says, FedLoan Servicing sent
Burkhart a letter saying the ABA "do[es] not provide a qualifying service,'' and
therefore his participation in the PSLF program was revoked after "further
research and after consulting with the department." That means Burkharfs 2.5
years of loan payments will not count toward loan forgiveness, despite the
initial assurances of FedLoan Servicing.
The Depaitment of Education's answer denies that Burkhart' s ECF had ever
been approved, or that its letter revoking his participation was a reversal.
Another named plaintiff in the case is an asylum officer for the federal
government who formerly worked for the ABA South Texas Pro Bono Asylum
Representation Project, representing unaccompanied minors seeking asylum in
the United States. Other name plaintiffs in the case work for the American
Immigration Lawyers Association and Vietnam Veterans of America. In some
cases, the lawsuit says, the plaintiffs actually have more debt then they did
when they graduated, because they made minimal payments under the
impression that they were working toward loan forgiveness.
In a message to ABA staff Monday, ABA Executive Director Jack Rives said
the DOE is suggesting that FedLoan Servicing's decisions are meaningless, and
that participants in the PSLF program therefore must make payments 10 years
before finding out whether the DOE will accept their applications. That denies
them information they need to make impmtant employment and financial
decisions.
"It's clear that the Depa1tment of Education changed the rules in midstream,''
Rives wrote. ''That action forces public service employees to gamble with their
financial futures and run the risk of being saddled with crushing, interest-
enhanced debt."

Hi Ian, Thanks again for talking with Kim and me today. The discussion really
helped!
We looked at the Mission and Goals of the AILA and we don't think this employer
qualifies. They definitely don't qualify under the public service they listed (public
education). Upon further review, we also couldn't find any indication that the
employees of the Association provide qualifying public interest law services.

In 2012, you corresponded with Ms. Maureen Dowling in the U.S. Department of Education's
{the Department's) Office of Innovation and Improvement concerning the status of your
employer, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), as a qualifying employer for
purposes of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program.
Under the PSLF Program, borrowers of federal student loans made under the William D. Ford
Federal Direct Loan Program (the Direct Loan Program) may qualify for forgiveness of their
remaining loan balance after they have made 120 qualifying payments while employed full-time
by an eligible public service organization. Under section 455(m) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended [20 USC 1087e(m)], and the implementing PSLF Program regulations at 34
CFR 685.219(b), an eligible public service organization is a government entity, a public child or
family service agency, an entity that is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC), a tribal college or university, or a private not-for-profit organization that
provides certain types of public services as listed in paragraph {5)(i) of the definition of "public
service organization" in 34 CFR 685.219(b).
Ms. Dowling referred your question to staff at the Department's Federal Student Aid office and
Office of Postsecondary Education, both of which are responsible for the management and
oversight of the PSLF Program. Our preliminary review of your employer's status in 2012
suggested that AILA was a not-for-profit organization that provided public interest law services.
This would make AILA a qualifying employer for purposes of the PLSF Program. We relayed
this information to you through Ms. Dowling.
Earlier this year, another employee of AILA submitted an Employment Certification for Public
Service Loan Forgiveness form to FedLoan Servicing, the Department's designated federal
student loan servicer for borrowers who are seeking a determination of whether their
employment and payments qualify for the PSLF Program. Upon receipt of an Employment
Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form, FedLoan Servicing is responsible for
officially determining whether the employer listed by a borrower on the form is a qualifying
employer tor purposes of the PSLF Program. In instances where FedLoan Serving cannot
clearly determine whether an employer qualifies, at least one Department of Education manager
performs an additional review and, if necessary, consults with the Department's Office of
General Counsel, before a final determination of the employer's status is made and
communicated to the borrower. This was the process used following receipt of the AILA
employee's submission of the Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness
form to FedLoan Serving. Through this more thorough review process, we determined that
AILA is not a qualifying employer for purposes of the PSLF Program, for the reasons explained
below.
We determined that AILA is a private not-for-profit organization that is tax-exempt under section
501 (c)(6) of the IRC. Because AILA is not a tax-exempt entity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, it can only qualify as an eligible employer for purposes of the PSLF
Program if it provides one of the public services listed in paragraph (5)(i) of the regulatory
definition of "public service organization." Qualifying types of public service that we considered
included public education and public interest law.
1
830 F•''ol Stre-~t. N[ Nasl11·-,g 1 ,::11 DC: ;202c;,~
The Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form that Fed Loan Servicing
received from the AILA employee indicated that AILA provides "public education services". Our
research shows that AILA is a professional bar association primarily engaged in advocacy and
providing news and commentary on immigration issues to its members, and to the public in
general. For PSLF purposes, the Department considers "public education services" to be
services that provide educational enrichment or support directly to students or their families in a
school or a schooHike setting. Because AILA's educational activities are directed primarily to its
members and to the public in general, not to students or families, and are not provided in a
school or school-like setting, AILA does not provide public education for the purposes of the
PSLF Program.
We also reconsidered whether AILA provides public interest law services. For purposes of the
PSLF Program, "public interest law" is defined in 34 CFR 685.219(b) as "legal services
provided by a public service organization that are funded in whole or in part by a local, State,
Federal, or Tribal government." After further review, we determined that employees of AILA do
not provide public interest law services. Rather, such services are provided by AILA's member
attorneys. AILA's "find a lawyer" site at www.ailalawyer.com specifically states that AILA and
ailalawyer.com offer "no legal advice, recommendations, mediation, or counseling under any
circumstance," but merely assist individuals in finding an attorney.
Based on our more thorough review of AILA's status, and notwithstanding the informal
information we provided in 2012, we have determined that AILA is not a qualifying employer for
PSLF purposes. We regret any confusion that may have been caused by our earlier opinion,
but we must comply with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements for the PSLF
Program.
If you have further questions concerning our determination of AJLA's status or the PSLF
Program, please contact Ian Foss of my staff, at ian.foss@ed.gov or 202-377-3681.

Dear Ms.~
In 2012, you corresponded with Ms. Maureen Dowling in the U.S. Department of Education's
{the Department's) Office of Innovation and Improvement concerning the status of your
employer, the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), as a qualifying employer for
purposes of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program.
Under the PSLF Program, borrowers of federal student loans made under the William D. Ford
Federal Direct Loan Program (the Direct Loan Program) may qualify for forgiveness of their
remaining loan balance after they have made 120 qualifying payments while employed full-time
by an eligible public service organization. Under section 455(m) of the Higher Education Act of
1965, as amended [20 USC 1087e(m)], and the implementing PSLF Program regulations at 34
CFR 685.219(b), an eligible public service organization is a government entity, a public child or
family service agency, an entity that is tax-exempt under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code (IRC), a tribal college or university, or a private not-for-profit organization that
provides certain types of public services as listed in paragraph {5)(i) of the definition of "public
service organization" in 34 CFR 685.219(b).
Ms. Dowling referred your question to staff at the Department's Federal Student Aid office and
Office of Postsecondary Education, both of which are responsible for the management and
oversight of the PSLF Program. Our preliminary review of your employer's status in 2012
suggested that AILA was a not-for-profit organization that provided public interest law services.
This would make AILA a qualifying employer for purposes of the PLSF Program. We relayed
this information to you through Ms. Dowling.
Earlier this year, another employee of AILA submitted an Employment Certification for Public
Service Loan Forgiveness form to FedLoan Servicing, the Department's designated federal
student loan servicer for borrowers who are seeking a determination of whether their
employment and payments qualify for the PSLF Program. Upon receipt of an Employment
Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form, FedLoan Servicing is responsible for
officially determining whether the employer listed by a borrower on the form is a qualifying
employer tor purposes of the PSLF Program. In instances where FedLoan Serving cannot
clearly determine whether an employer qualifies, at least one Department of Education manager
performs an additional review and, if necessary, consults with the Department's Office of
General Counsel, before a final determination of the employer's status is made and
communicated to the borrower. This was the process used following receipt of the AILA
employee's submission of the Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness
form to FedLoan Serving. Through this more thorough review process, we determined that
AILA is not a qualifying employer for purposes of the PSLF Program, for the reasons explained
below.
We determined that AILA is a private not-for-profit organization that is tax-exempt under section
501 (c)(6) of the IRC. Because AILA is not a tax-exempt entity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, it can only qualify as an eligible employer for purposes of the PSLF
Program if it provides one of the public services listed in paragraph (5)(i) of the regulatory
definition of "public service organization." Qualifying types of public service that we considered
included public education and public interest law.
1
830 F•''ol Stre-~t. N[ Nasl11·-,g 1 ,::11 DC: ;202c;,~
The Employment Certification for Public Service Loan Forgiveness form that Fed Loan Servicing
received from the AILA employee indicated that AILA provides "public education services". Our
research shows that AILA is a professional bar association primarily engaged in advocacy and
providing news and commentary on immigration issues to its members, and to the public in
general. For PSLF purposes, the Department considers "public education services" to be
services that provide educational enrichment or support directly to students or their families in a
school or a schooHike setting. Because AILA's educational activities are directed primarily to its
members and to the public in general, not to students or families, and are not provided in a
school or school-like setting, AILA does not provide public education for the purposes of the
PSLF Program.
We also reconsidered whether AILA provides public interest law services. For purposes of the
PSLF Program, "public interest law" is defined in 34 CFR 685.219(b) as "legal services
provided by a public service organization that are funded in whole or in part by a local, State,
Federal, or Tribal government." After further review, we determined that employees of AILA do
not provide public interest law services. Rather, such services are provided by AILA's member
attorneys. AILA's "find a lawyer" site at www.ailalawyer.com specifically states that AILA and
ailalawyer.com offer "no legal advice, recommendations, mediation, or counseling under any
circumstance," but merely assist individuals in finding an attorney.
Based on our more thorough review of AILA's status, and notwithstanding the informal
information we provided in 2012, we have determined that AILA is not a qualifying employer for
PSLF purposes. We regret any confusion that may have been caused by our earlier opinion,
but we must comply with all relevant statutory and regulatory requirements for the PSLF
Program.
If you have further questions concerning our determination of AJLA's status or the PSLF
Program, please contact Ian Foss of my staff, at ian.foss@ed.gov or 202-377-3681.
Sincerely, , /I

Subject: Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program
Hi Ms. Dowling,
I wanted to follow up with you on our discussion about the Public Service
Loan Forgiveness Program. I am trying to find out whether my current
position as a Liaison and Information Associate would count as qualifying
employment. I work for the American Immigration Lawyers Association,
which is a 501 (c)(6) organization. Do you have any ideas where I could
go to find an answer to my question? None of the information that I've
seen on the website or that I've gathered from talking with customer
service individuals seems conclusive. I've even looked through the
statutes and regulations, which seem to indicate it would qualify, but I'm
not sure. I have included below some background information on both
AILA and my position, but please feel free to let me know if you need
more! Thanks so much for your help, and I hope to see you soon!
!(b)(6) I
AILA: The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) is the
national association of immigration lawyers established to promote

Hi Ms. Dowling!
I hope you're well and getting to enjoy the summer! rm writing to follow up on this email string from forever ago,
in the hopes you have some advice. I'm not ,ure if you remember, hut I had contacted you ahout whether my
position as a Liaison Associate at the American Immigration Lawyers A,sociation would count as qualifying
employment for the Puhlic Service Loan Forgiveness Program. You were very kind and forwarded my email to
your colleagues at the Department of Education who work in that area.
My coworker has since applied to have my organization recognized as a qualifying organization (since we spoke,
there's heen an application process introduced hy which you can officially apply to have your current employment
count towards the necessary IO year, of qualifying employment). Unfortunately, the application came hack and said
our organization didn't qualify. She called and asked for ,upervisory review, and I think they're looking into it.
The application didn't give a reason that our organintion didn't qualify.
rm wondering if you know whether there is any other way to have the reque,t reviewed'! I think there is an
Omhud,man for the program, so we will look into that option, as well. I know this i,n't the area you work in at the
Department of Education, hut I thought it wouldn't hurt to reach out! Any ,uggestion, you have for how we can
follow up on the application would he much appreciated. I've attached a copy of her application and the denial, in
the event that ifs helpful.
Thank, ,o much! Hope to ,ee you soon.
Best.

Hi Maureen, In order to qualify for puhlic service loan forgiveness, a borrower must. among other requirements, he
employed full-time hy a puhlic service organization. The policy staff in FSA and OPE believe that the American
Immigration Lawyers Association meets the definition of puhlic ,ervice organintion in 34 CFR 685.2 l 9(h) of the
regulations because it is a private organization that provides puhlic service,, it i, not a husines, organized for profit.
nor is it engaged in parti,an or religious activities. As a full-time employee of an eligible puhlic ,ervice
organization, Ms.~ ,ervice would he comidered eligible as long a, ,he meets the rest of the eligibility
requirements in 34 CFR 685.2 l 9(cJ. I am including a link to the regulations should she have further questions
ahout her eligibility. http:/.\vww .law .cornell.eduicfr/text/14/685.219
I hope this is helpful.

Hi Ms. Dowling!
I hope you're well and getting to enjoy the summer! rm writing to follow up on this email string from forever ago,
in the hopes you have some advice. I'm not ,ure if you remember, hut I had contacted you ahout whether my
position as a Liaison Associate at the American Immigration Lawyers A,sociation would count as qualifying
employment for the Puhlic Service Loan Forgiveness Program. You were very kind and forwarded my email to
your colleagues at the Department of Education who work in that area.
My coworker has since applied to have my organization recognized as a qualifying organization (since we spoke,
there's heen an application process introduced hy which you can officially apply to have your current employment
count towards the necessary IO year, of qualifying employment). Unfortunately, the application came hack and said
our organization didn't qualify. She called and asked for ,upervisory review, and I think they're looking into it.
The application didn't give a reason that our organintion didn't qualify.
rm wondering if you know whether there is any other way to have the reque,t reviewed'! I think there is an
Omhud,man for the program, so we will look into that option, as well. I know this i,n't the area you work in at the
Department of Education, hut I thought it wouldn't hurt to reach out! Any ,uggestion, you have for how we can
follow up on the application would he much appreciated. I've attached a copy of her application and the denial, in
the event that ifs helpful.
Thank, ,o much! Hope to ,ee you soon.

Hi Ms. Dowling!

your colleagues at the Department of Education who work in that area.
My coworker has since applied to have my organization recognized as a qualifying organization (since we spoke,
there's heen an application process introduced hy which you can officially apply to have your current employment
count towards the necessary IO year, of qualifying employment). Unfortunately, the application came hack and said
our organization didn't qualify. She called and asked for supervisory review, and I think they're looking into it.
The application didn't give a reason that our organintion didn't qualify.
rm wondering if you know whether there is any other way to have the reque,t reviewed'! I think there is an
Omhud,man for the program, so we will look into that option, as well. I know this i,n't the area you work in at the
Department of Education, hut I thought it wouldn't hurt to reach out! Any ,uggestion, you have for how we can

organization (since we spoke. there's been an application process introduced by which you
can officially apply to have your current employment count towards the necessary 10 years of
qualifying employment). Unfortunately, the application came back and said our organization
didn't qualify. She called and asked for supervisory review, and I think they're looking into
it. The application didn't give a reason that our organization didn't qualify.
I'm wondering if you know whether there is any other way to have the request reviewed? I
think there is an Ombudsman for the program, so we will look into that option, as well. I
know this isn't the area you work in at the Department of Education, but I thought it wouldn ·t
hurt to reach out! Any suggestions you have for how we can follow up on the application
would be much appreciated. I've attached a copy of her application and the denial, in the
event that it's helpful.
Thanks so much! Hope to see you soon.

Subject: RE: Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program
Hi Maureen, In order to qualify for public service loan forgiveness, a borrower must, among
other requirements, be employed full~time by a public service organi;,:ation. The policy staff in
FSA and OPE believe that the American Immigration Lawyers Association meets the definition
of public service organization in 34 CFR 685.219(6) of the regulations because it is a private
organization that provides public services, it is not a business organized for profit, nor is it
engaged in partisa~ligious activities. As a full-time employee of an eligible public service
LJ
organi;,:ation, .i\fs. service would be considered eligible as long as she meets the rest of the
eligibility requirements 111 34 CFR 685.219(c). I am including a link to the regulations should she
have further questions about her eligibility. http:/ /\\"\v'\v.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/34/685.219

Hi Ms. Dowling,
It was really great seeing you at the block party on Monday! It's always so nice to
make it out to my parents house and catch up with everyone.
I wanted to follow up with you on our discussion about the Public Service Loan
Forgiveness Program. I am trying to find out whether my current position as a
Liaison and Information Associate would count as qualifying employment. I work for
the American Immigration Lawyers Association, which is a 501 (c)(6) organization. Do
you have any ideas where I could go to find an answer to my question? None of the
information that I've seen on the website or that I've gathered from talking with
customer service individuals seems conclusive, I've even looked through the statutes
and regulations, which seem to indicate it would qualify, but I'm not sure. I have
included below some background information on both AILA and my position, but
please feel free to let me know if you need more! Thanks so much for your help, and
I hope to see you soon!

Hi Maureen, In order to qualify for public service loan forgiveness, a borrower must, among
other requirements, be employed full~time by a public service organi;,:ation. The policy staff in
FSA and OPE believe that the American Immigration La'\vyers Association meets the definition
of public service organization in 34 CFR 685.219(b) of the regulations because it is a private
organi;,:ation that provides public services, it is not a business organi;,:ed for profit, nor is it
engaged in partisan or relib-'1ousactivities. As a full-time employee of an eligible public service
organization, Ms.l(b)(B) lservice would be considered eligible as long as she meets the rest of the
eligibility requirements in 34 CFR 685.219(c). I am including a link to the regulations should she
have further questions about her eligibility. http:/ /v.:w:w.Jaw.cnrnell.edufrfr/text/14/685.219

Hi Ms. Dowling!
I hope you·re well and getting to enjoy the summer! I"m writing to follow up on this email
string from forever ago. in the hopes you have some advice. rm not sure if you remember,
but I had contacted you about whether my position as a Liaison Associate at the American
Immigration Lawyers Association would count as qualifying employment for the Public
Service Loan Forgiveness Program. You were very kind and forwarded my email to your
colleagues at the Depaitment of Education who work in that area.
My coworker has since applied to have my organization recognized as a qualifying
organization (since we spoke. there's been an application process introduced by which you
can officially apply to have your current employment count towards the necessary 10 years of
qualifying employment). Unfortunately, the application came back and said our organization
didn't qualify. She called and asked for supervisory review, and I think they're looking into
it. The application didn't give a reason that our organization didn't qualify.
I'm wondering if you know whether there is any other way to have the request reviewed? I
think there is an Ombudsman for the program, so we will look into that option, as well. I
know this isn't the area you work in at the Department of Education, but I thought it wouldn't

Hi Ms. Dowling,
I wanted to follow up with you on our discussion about the Public Service Loan
Forgiveness Program. I am trying to find out whether my current position as a
Liaison and Information Associate would count as qualifying employment. I work for
the American Immigration Lawyers Association, which is a 501 (c)(6) organization. Do
you have any ideas where I could go to find an answer to my question? None of the
information that I've seen on the website or that I've gathered from talking with
customer service individuals seems conclusive. I've even looked through the statutes
and regulations, which seem to indicate it would qualify, but I'm not sure. I have
included below some background information on both AILA and my position, but
please feel free to let me know if you need more! Thanks so much for your help, and

• Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program: Cancels the remaining balance of a borrower's Direct
Loans after working full time at one or more qualifying public service employers for at least 10 years,
while making 120 qualifying monthly payments after October 1, 2007.
o Established to encourage individuals to enter and continue in full-time employment in lower-
paying but vitally important public service jobs.
• Employment Certification Form (ECF): A form that can be submitted periodically to help determine if
the borrower is on the right track while working towards meeting the PSLFeligibility requirements
• Consolidation: Issuing a loan or loans to replace a group of existing internal and/or external loans.
• Segal Award: Post-service benefit received by individuals who complete terms of national service in
approved AmeriCorps programs. Used to pay educational costs at eligible post-secondary educational
institutions, including qualified student loans.
• Transition Award: An amount paid to Peace Corps volunteers upon completion of two years of service.
Award amount is subject to change.
• PSLFSplit: A specific split in which calls are routed to if the borrower is participating in PSLFor if they
call a specific number.
• Full-time employment: Working in one or more jobs for the greater of:
o An annual average of at least 30 hours per week (or for a contractual or employment period of
at least 8 months, an average of 30 hours per week); OR
o The number of hours the employer considers full-time, unless the qualifying employment is
with more than one employer
Note: This includes vacation, leave time, or any leave taken under the Family Medical Leave
act of 1993.
o If an employer is 501(c)(3) or a not-for-profit organization, any hours spent on religious
instruction, worship services, or proselytizing does not qualify for PSLF.
• Estimated Eligibility Date: The date on which FLSestimates the borrower will make their final
qualifying payment and become eligible to submit their application for forgiveness of the loan.
o This is based on the assumption that the borrower will continue to work full-time for a PSLF
qualifying employer until the time they receive loan forgiveness, while continuing to make on-
time, qualifying payments every month until the time they apply for loan forgiveness.

Scenarios: ( 1) if the servicer services Federally and non-Federally held debt and offers
combined billing, no marketing envelopes or inserts for other services/products may be
issued; (2) if the servicer services Federally and non-Federally held debt and does NOT use
combined billing, normal marketing may be provided for non- Federally held debt for other
services/products; and (3) if the servicer services Federally and non-Federally held debt and
is in personal contact, no marketing for other services/products may be discussed. If a
borrower with in-school status seeks information regarding other products or services from
the servicer, the borrower shall be directed to their schoor s Student Financial Assistance
Office.
Any exception or ambiguity regarding the above shall be reviewed and approved by the
Contracting Officer in advance.
L. Invoicing and Non-Compliance - Borrowers whose loans are not being serviced in
compliance with the Requirements, Policy and Procedures for servicing federally held debt
due to the fault of the servicer (i.e. correct interest calculations, correct balances, interest
determination and calculations, notices sent properly, proper due diligence, etc.), will not be
billable to the Government from the initial point of non-compliance. Any funds that have
been invoiced for these borrowers and paid shall be returned to the Government via a credit
on the next invoice.
M. Contracting Otlicer's Representative -The following individual is designated as
Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for this contract:
N. Additional Terms:
1. The Title IV Servicing contracts are for any potential services to manage all types of Title
IV student aid obligations, including, but not limited to, servicing and consolidation of
outstanding debt. However, they are not Requirements contracts.
2. Each contractor will provide, at a minimum, the services provided within their proposal,
in accordance with the pricing identified in Term #3 below.
3. The Government will set and manage the common pricing, including tier structure,
below:
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
Out year pricing will follow the methodology described utilizing the subsequent tenns.
There will be no set declination in pricing at the time of award.
4. The Government has included an escalation methodology based upon the Bureau of
Labor Statistics' (BLS) Employment Cost Index (ECI) for Total Compensation, Private
Industry, Service Occupations (Not Seasonally Adjusted), to account for significant
inflation and/or deflation. When the ECI exceeds 3.0% (plus or minus) in any given year
the Government will adjust the established common pricing by any amount in excess of
this rate. The calculated rate of escalation will equal the average of the 12-month percent
change for the previous four quarters, ending June 30 th . This ECI escalation will be
applied beginning in September of the same calendar year. Further, this escalation will
compound for all remaining years of the Base and Optional Ordering Periods.
For example. ECI rate released in June 2010 is 3.6%. The Government will increase unit
pricing by .6% for the contract beginning September 1, 2010 and all remaining years of
the Base Ordering Period, as well as the Optional Ordering Period.
A decreasing rate of inflation would follow the same pattern as above. For example. if the
ECI decreases by more than 3.0%, then the unit prices for the remaining out-years will
also decrease by the percentage in excess of 3.0°/41.For example, ECI rate released in
June 2010 is -4.2%. The Government will decrease unit pricing by 1.2% for the contract
period beginning September 1, 2010 and all remaining years of the Base Ordering Period.
as well as the Optional Ordering Period.
5. Common pricing includes all supplies, services and other costs to deliver Title IV
servicing under this contract, including:
• Costs for bringing contractor systems into compliance for handling federally held
debt.
• Costs for legislative. regulatory or policy changes that affect the FFEL community as
a whole, as is commercially accepted practice in the FFEL community.
• For all other costs, the Department and the contractor(s) may come to an agreement
via change order process or negotiation, as necessary.
6. The Government makes no guarantee to any contractor that their organization will retain
their current loan servicing volume. In addition, the Government makes no minimum
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
OBTAINED BY STUDENT BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEACHERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT
7. The Government reserves the right to periodically review and equitably adjust the rate
structure to maintain effectiveness of the services provided (i.e., different volume breaks,
different ties, cost allocations, etc)
8. The Government reserves the right to equitably introduce, eliminate, or modify loan
deliverables/status items that are in the best interest of the Government or Borrower. (i.e.,
in-school deferments moved into the In-School deliverable; new deferment or
forbearance categories: etc).
9. The Government reserves the right to unilaterally shift borrowers in the best interest of
the Government or Borrowers, at no additional cost to the Government. It is anticipated
that this will be done only with reasonable and prudent cause.
10. The Government retains the unilateral right to resolve split-borrowers as deemed
appropriate by the Government, at no additional cost to the Government.

Security
Federal Student Aid agrees with the Office of Management and Budget (0MB)
and Congress that the security of its data and IT resources is one of our highest
priorities. Recognizing the need for agencies to have effective information
security programs, Congress passed the Federal Information Security
Management Act (FISMA) of 2002. FISMA provides the overall framework for
ensuring the effectiveness of information security controls that support federal
computer operations and assets. FISMA requirements apply to all federal
contractors and organizations or sources that possess or use federal
information or that operate, use, or have access to federal information
systems on behalf of an agency. FISMA mandates the use of the standards
created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). and
Federal Student Aid has adopted those standards and guidance for securing its
information technology resources.
Federal Student Aid security requirements indicated below ensure the confidentiality.
integrity and availability of its data at a high level. System controls need to be tested and
system documentation reviewed using an independent source. If adequate security is in
place, Federal Student Aid will provide a formal security authorization to operate (ATO).
Additional detailed requirements can be found in NIST security standards. special
publications, and bulletins; 0MB memorandums; and the Department of Education
(DoED) policies and procedures. The primary document Federal Student Aid uses to
identify and implement controls is NIST SP 800-53. The latest version of this guidance
can be found at: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-53-Rev2/sp800-53-rev2-

Direct Loans
1. The servicer shall meet all legislative and regulatory requirements for the
Direct Loan program (DL). In some cases Direct Loans will need to be
serviced differently than FFEL loans, a few examples of these differences
are listed below (not an all inclusive list):
a. The interest rate for a Federal Direct PLUS loan is fixed at 7.9% for
loans first disbursed after July 1, 2006.
b. Public service loan forgiveness is only offered in the DL.
c. There are two repayment plans unique to the DL: Income
Contingent Repayment (ICR) and the Alternative Repayment.
d. DL providesa 0.25% interestrate reductionfor borrowersmaking
payments through electronic debit accounts.
e. As of July 1, 2009 the up front interest rebate for direct subsidized
and unsubsidized loans will be 1.00%.
f. There is an origination fee but no Federal default fee in the DL. As
of July 1, 2009, the origination fee will be 1.5% for direct subsidized
and direct unsubsidized loans.
g. There is authority in the DL for unlimited discretionary
forbearances. DL servicers must be able to offer borrowers
additional administrative forbearance after the 3-year limit and upon
receipt of additional documentation from the borrowers.
2. The servicer shall meet all previously identified requirements for Federally
Held Debt (i.e. Accounting, Treasury, Reconciliation, Internal Controls,
etc.) for the Direct Loan portfolio.

System (COD) & Electronic Master Promissory Note (eMPN) for newly
originatedloans.
4. The servicer shall interface with the Direct Loan Consolidation System
(DLCS) for Direct Consolidation Loans.
5. The servicers shall accept loan and disbursement level adjustments from
the originating system(s) and/or directly from schools as necessary. The
majority of Direct Loan adjustments & cancellations are passed from the
school to COD, and then from COD to the servicing system via the
servicing system/COD interface. Direct Consolidation Loan adjustments &
cancellationsare received by the servicingsystem from the Direct Loan
Consolidation System (DLCS) via the servicing system/DLCS interface
6. The servicer shall interface with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as

Ongoing Allocation Methodology
The allocation of ongoing volume will be detennined based on the performance of each servicer in
relation to the other servicers awarded. While the total number of awarded servicers has not yet been
determined. this methodology works with any number of servicers (as shown in examples).
Quarterly scores will be compiled for each servicer based on various performance factors; five high-level
metrics, and some sub-metric categories, have been defined (see below). An average of the quarterly
scores available on July 1 of each year will be used to determine the ranking of each servicer in each of
the five high-level metric categories. By combining each servicer's ranking in all categories, each servicer
will be given a percentage of the total new volume of Federally Held Debt to be distributed for the
upcommg year.
Servicers will be informed of their allocation percentage of new volume by July 15 of each year. This
allocation will become effective on August 15 of each year. The first ongoing allocation will be provided
by August 15, 20!0.
The allocation of ongoing volume will be detennined based on the following factors:
1. Percentage of ''In Repayment" Portfolio Dollars that go into default (as transferred to DMCS -
360+ days) - Measured as a percentage of the servicer's cmTent Federally held portfolio
a. Percentage at Public Schools
b. Percentage at Private Schools
c. Percentage at Proprietary Schools
2. Percentage of unique ''In Repayment" Portfolio borrowers that go into default (as transferred to
DMCS - 360+ days)-Measured as a percentage of the servicer's current Federally held portfolio
a. Percentage at Public Schools
b. Percentage at Private Schools
c. Percentage at Proprietary Schools
3. Borrower Surveys
a. In School Borrowers
b. In Grace Borrowers
c. In Repayment Borrowers
4. School Surveys
a. Public Schools
b. Private Schools
c. Proprietary Schools
5. Survey of FSA personnel
Allocation Metric# 1- to be measured Quarterly (calendar quarters beginning with October I. 2009).
Calculation= (Total Principal Balance Outstanding (or "PBO") + Interest of all loans sent to DMCS
during the quarter or> 360 days delinquent at the end of the quarter) DIVIDED BY (Total PBO + Interest
of all of the servicer's Federally held debt portfolio in repayment status). Resulting value is a percentage
rounded to the nearest hundredth for each category of schools (Public. Private, Proprietary). All available
quarterly scores in each category ( 1a, 1b. le) will be averaged together on July I of each year to calculate
the Final Score for this allocation metric.
Allocation Metric# 2 - to be measured Quarterly (calendar quarters beginning with October I. 2009).
Calculation= (Total number of borrowers sent to DMCS during the quarter or> 360 days delinquent at

the end of the quarter) DIVIDED BY (Total number of borrowers within the servicer' s Federally held
debt portfolio in repayment status). Resulting value is a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth for
each category of schools (Public, Private. Proprietary). All available quarterly scores in each category (2a,
2b, 2c) will be averaged together on July 1 of each year to calculate the Final Score for this allocation
metric.
Allocation Metric # 3 - Surveys will be conducted quarterly of boJTowers in each category (In School. In
Grace, and In Repayment). The survey will measure borrower satisfaction with the servicer and results
will be based on a scale of 0 - 100°/41,
with 100% representing a perfect score. FSA, or an agent of FSA
will conduct surveys. All available quarterly scores in each category (3a. 3b, 3c) will be averaged together
on July 1 of each year to calculate the Final Score for this allocation metric.
Allocation Metric# 4 - Surveys will be conducted quarterly of schools in each category (Public, Private,
and Proprietary). The survey will measure school satisfaction with the servicer and results will be based
on a scale of O- 100%, with 100% representing a perfect score. FSA. or an agent of FSA will conduct
surveys. All available quarterly scores in each category (4a, 4b, 4c) will be averaged together on July 1 of
each year to calculate the Final Score for this allocation metric.
Allocation Metric # 5 - Surveys will be conducted quarterly of FSA personnel. The survey will measure
FSA satisfaction with the servicer and results will be based on a scale of 0 - 100%, with 100%
representing a perfect score. FSA, or an agent of FSA will conduct surveys. All available quarterly scores
will be averaged together on July 1 of each year to calculate the Final Score for this allocation metric.
FSA will compare all servicers' scores in each allocation metric category and provide a ranking for each
servicer in that category, with the best score in each category receiving the highest possible value and the
worst score receiving the lowest possible value (highest/ lowest values will be determined by the number
of servicers selected --- Highest score possible will be the total number of servicers selected, lowest score
will be I).
Once a ranking value has been assigned to each servicer in each allocation category. all scores for a
servicer will be added together to provide the "Total Score'' for that servicer for the year. Each servicer
will have one Total Score for each year.
The servicer's percentage of new volume will determine the percentage of new borrowers that will be
sent to the servicer for servicing (loans for existing borrowers may, to the maximum extent practicable, be
sent to the servicer already holding that borrower's other loans).
NOTE: If a sen'icer is out r~{compliance ({or example, but not limited to, financial management or
reporting, security, 0MB Circular A-123, Legislative Mandates, Program Compliance, etc.), that

sen,icer's neiv volume may be re-allocated to one or more other servicers until compliance has been
achieved. In addition, that servicer's current account volume may be transferred to another sen'icer,
at the non-compliant servicer's expense.

Subject: Cohort Default Rate (CDR) Challenge Support- Basis for Common Pricing Structure
The purpose of tris memorandum is to document the process and rationale utilized in arriving at the
negotiated common pricing for CDR Challenge Support.
On February 2, 2010, the Government requested an impact analysis in response to CR# 827 for CDR
Challenge Support. The Government received high level approaches, including anticipated Level of Effort
(LOE) and ROM pricing associated with meeting this requirement. A summary of LOE responses are
provided below:
... --
TIVAS Per Institution I Per Borrower
(Hours) (Hours)
Based upon the information provided, the Government believed that a reasonable LOE assumption
associated with this support would be 6 hours per institution, and 30 minutes per borrower. On
February 23, 2010, the Government presented this to each of the TIVAS, and requested a proposal
including a fixed price per institution researched, and a fixed price per borrower researched.

The Government identified a broad variance among the pricing proposed. This is a result of the
utilization of different labor types among the TIVAS, as well as varying geographic location of the TIVAS'
operations. Though an IGCEwas not developed in advance, the Program Office validated that the
proposed hours and rates for CDR challenge support was consistent with their technical experience and
historical information.
Consistent with the tenets of the TIVAS contracts, the Government intended to establish common
pricing for this SLpport, as communicated up front to the TIVAS. In establishing the common pricing
structure, the Government compared initial proposed pricing under the TIVAS contracts, and compared
that to the final common pricing model. The Government applied the variance to the proposed pricing
under the CDR Challenge Support, and averaged out the price among the four TIVAS on a per institution
and per borrowec basis.

I Support·--~-------"'------~
The Government presented the pricing to the TIVAS on March 17, 2010. By March 23, 2010, all four
TIVAS provided confirmation of their acceptance of the common pricing terms above, which reflects the
final negotiated pricing.
As a result of negotiations, the Government was able to achieve savings of 37.03% on the per institution
unit price and 30.58% on the per borrower unit price, both from the average proposed price among the
TIVAS.
The Government does not anticipate significant utilization of CDR Challenge Support at this time. Based
on historical information, the number of challenges anticipated is approximately 0.25% of the borrowers
in the cohort.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
FEDERAL STUDENT AID ACQUISITIONS
Under the provision ofED-FSA-09-D-0014, dated: June l 7, 2009, with Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency (PHEAA):
1. This is to certify that Michael J. Murray of Federal Student Aid Business Operations is hereby
designated as the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for the above referenced contract.
2. This designation will rernam in effect from contract award through contract termination, unless
sooner terminated in writing by the Contracting Officer or successor, or by reason of your
reassignment, resignation or termination.
3. The Contracting Officer is to be notified immediately if you receive notice of reassignment, or
when you will be absent for an extended period of time or otherwise be unable to fulfill the
responsibilities of this position. In your absence, notification is to be given by your immediatl:
superior. You are required to maintain current COR certification in accordance with program
requirements. Details may be found on the OCFO/CPO website on ConncctED.
4. The Contracting Officer (CO) is the exclusive agent of the Government with authority to enter
into and administer contracts. Thus, the CO has the responsibility to see that all requirements of
law and regulation are follmved. However, as the CO's representative you are delegated the
authority to monitor the technical effort being performed under the contract. You should
familiarize yourself with the requirements of the contract, and communicate with the Contractor
as necessary to ensure the contractor is making satisfactory progress in perfonnance of the
contract. Other than the CO, you are the only Government employee who may direct the flow of
technical matters between the Govemm~nt and the Contractor.
5. A contract is a legally enforceable agreement that contains the rights and remedies of the parties.
If the Contractor deviates from the terms of the contract, it 1s a matter between the Government
(represented by the CO) and the Contractor. You must keep the CO fully informed so that legally
effective solutions can be applied to problems as they develop. Your suggestions to the
Contractor may be construed as instructions and lead to claims for additional compensation or to
a release of the Contractor from its obligations under the contract. Suggestions sometnncs work
out, but often lead to misunderstandings. Therefore, while you can and must make technical

Description of Modification/Amendment:

Objective:
The servicer shall enable borrowers to track qualifying payments and employment, using the Employment
Certification form, while in the process of qualifying for Public Service Loan Forgiveness in accordance
with the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Single Servicer Requirements v.1.
Pricing:
The following provides the pricing on a per borrower basis for each approved/denied Employment
Certification Form (ECF).
PHEAA
b)(4)
I j(b)(4) I j(b)(4) I
• Unit Price per ECF Approved: A borrower with a valid ECF (complete, signed and dated,
certified by authorized official from validated qualifying public service organization) and transfer
completed (loaded on system). (Invoicing may occur upon completion of the transfer.)
• Unit Price per ECF Denied: A borrower with an incomplete ECF or request does not support
PSLF qualifying employment. The PSLF servicer would communicate with the borrower to obtain
a valid ECF, but loans not requested to be transferred. (Invoicing may occur after the PSLF
Servicer has notified the borrower of the denial.)
• PSLF Servicer may only bill the Government once per unit (Approval or Denial), per SSN. See
the following examples:
• A borrower submits an approved ECF. The PSLF Servicer may bill the Government once
for the approved ECF, regardless of any re-certifications required during borrower
tracking within the program and payoff at completion.
• A borrower submits a denied ECF, then submits an approved ECF. The PSLF Servicer
may bill once for the denied ECF, then again for the approved ECF.
• A borrower submits three consecutively denied ECFs, then on the fourth attempt, the
ECF is approved. The PSLF Servicer may only bill for the first denied ECF, then once for
the approved ECF.
• Once an approved PSLF borrower is transrerred on system, the current servicing pricing terms in
the TIVAS agreements shall apply.
• The PSLF Servicer shall maintain and provide FSA with a record that will enable FSA to validate
the units invoice per billing period. This may include a roster of borrowers that have been both
approved and denied, the corresponding dates, and if denied, a reason for the denial (e.g.
incomplete ECF or request does not support PSLF qualifying employment).

Schedule:
The implementation date is schedule is for January 31, 2012.
Disincentives:
The following disincentive is incorporated into this contract to ensure Federal Student Aid {FSA)
performance objectives for the PSLF requirements are achieved by the required implementation deadline:
The contractor shall complete implementation of all requirements by the implementation deadline listed
above. For every calendar day that full implementation is not achieved, FSA will reduce the contractor's
initial invoice payable amount by 2% per day tale. Should delays extend beyond a reasonable period,
FSA may continue to reduce the payment amounts of subsequent invoices, or take other actions as
appropriate in accordance with the tem,s of the contractor's base contract.
FSA approval of the Validation Artifacts is necessary for any requirement to be considered completed.
However, for the purposes of calculating this disincentive only, the date of acceptance will be
considered as the date that the accepted validation artifact was submitted to FSA for approval.

PLANSUMMARY
Under the Special Direct Consolidation loan (SDCL)Program, the TIVAS will market the SDCLprogram to
borrowers who are within the TJVAS'individual portfolio and meet eligibility requirements to participate
in the program. The purpose of this plan is to incentivize the TIVAS to maximize consolidation bookings
under this program, by providing an incentive pool where the TIVAScan earn additional borrowers
eligible for this program, but held by a non-TIVAS servicer (ACS Education Solutions under the Common
Servicers for Borrowers contract). Under this incentive plan, the TIVAS can earn additional volume
beyond those borrowers currently in their individual portfolios, transferring those borrowers to the
TIVASthat successfully consolidates the loans, giving that TIVASongoing servicing rights to that
borrower in accordance with the terms of the TIVASIDIQ contracts.
This incentive plan will reward the TIVASbased on demonstrated successof their campaign to the
targeted and eligible borrowers for this Special Direct Consolidation Loan opportunity.
INCENTIVE REWARD
Upon consolidation (that is, a Direct Consolidation Loan is booked), the TIVASwill begin to service the
loan(s) it holds for that borrower even though the borrower is in split status. All ED-held loans of the
borrower who consolidated under the Special Direct consolidation will then be transferred to the TIVAS
that completed the consolidation for that borrower. The transfer of loans will follow the normal
transfer process currently in place for resolving split borrowers. At the end of the process, the TIVASwill
have all the Direct Loans for that borrower who consolidated under the Special Direct Consolidation
opportunity. The Government estimates that the incentive pool may contain between 500,000 to 1.4
million total eligible borrowers.
DETAILS
Process:
Metric will be calculated on February 15, 2012 based on a snapshot in time of borrowers who have
completed an Application/PNote by February 14'h 11:59PM.
The incentive allocation pool wm be distributed with the first weekly NSLDSeligibility file after
March 1, 2012. Please note: No transfer of loans will occur until a Direct Consolidation Loan is
booked.
As noted above, there will be no additional file for the TIVASto process as part of this incentive plan.

EKample:
SAMPLE: 300,000 total borrowers to be distributed
TIVASl had 100 total eligible borrowers to reach out to, of whom 40 submitted promissory notes and 20
selected a repayment plan at the time of submission.
Performance metric calculations for TIVASl:
40/100cc0.4 X 0.9 = 0.36
20/100=0.2 X 0.1 = 0.02
0.36 + 0.02 = 0.38xl00 = 38%
TIVA52 had 200 total eligible borrowers to reach out to, of whom 20 submitted promissory notes and 5
selected a repayment plan at the time of submission.
Performance metric calculations for TIVA52:
20/200=0.1 X 0.9 = 0.09
5/200=0.025 X 0.1 = 0.0025
0.09+0.0025=0.092Sx100 = 9.25%

TIVAS3 had 100 total eligible borrowers to reach out to, all of whom submitted promissory notes and 50
of whom selected a repayment plan at the time of submission.
Performance metric calculations for TIVAS3:
100/100=1 X0.9 = 0.9
50/100=0.5 x 0.1 = 0.05
0.9+0.0S = 0.95x100 = 95%
TIVAS4 had 300 total eligible borrowers to reach out to, of whom 100 submitted promissory notes and
25 selected a repayment plan at the time of submission.
Performance metric calculation for TIVAS4
100/300 = Q.33 X 0.9 = 0.30
25/300 = 0.08 X 0.1 = 0.008
0.30+0.008 = 0.0308x100 = 3.08%
Normalization Calculations
38% + 9.25% + 95% + 3.08% = 145.33 %
Since 145.33 does not equal 100%, the metric needs to be normalized to determine the distribution of
incentive allocation pool.
Normalize to 100 % to determine the percentage of the total incentive allocation pool to distribute by
dividing by 145.33.
100/145.33 = .69
145.33*0.69 = 100 %

Description of Modification/Amendment:
The purpose of this modification is to incorporate the attached Default Aversion Pilot Program (Attachment
A). This Pilot Program applies for the period of performance identified within Attachment A only, and does
not replace or change any other performance metrics currently incorporated into the agreement.

The Default Aversion Pilot Program will be established to add further focus on effective borrower
counseling, delinquency prevention, and default aversion. A quarterly incentive pool of $1.2 million will
be established with each TIVAS receiving up to $300,000 per quarter based on their performance against
established baselines. Performance will be measured on a quarterly basis, with incentives awarded
after the end of each quarter. The following metrics will be used to assess performance:
Performance on each metric will account for one-third of the incentive payment; with a quarterly
incentive pool of $300,000 per vendor, each TIVAS could earn up to $100,000 per metric per quarter.
The goal of the incentive is to drive continuous improvement. A TIVAS showing improvement over the
same quarter for the previous year on a given metric would earn $100,000; a firm that does not improve
compared with the baseline would not receive an incentive payment.

Metric Number 1 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $100,000 $400,000
